NAME

       git-annex-unused - look for unused file content

SYNOPSIS

       git annex unused

DESCRIPTION

       Checks  the annex for data that does not correspond to any files present in any tag or branch, and prints
       a numbered list of the data.

       After running this command, you can use the --unused option with many other git-annex commands to operate
       on all the unused data that was found.

       For example, to move all unused data to origin:

        git annex unused; git annex move --unused --to origin

OPTIONS

       --fast

              Only show unused temp and bad files.

       --from=remote
              Check for unused data that is located on a remote.

       --used-refspec=+ref:-ref
              By  default,  any data that the work tree uses, or that any refs in the git repository point to is
              considered to be used. If you only want to use some refs, you can use this option to  specify  the
              ones  to  use. Data that is not in the specified refs (and not used by the work tree) will then be
              considered unused.

              The git configuration annex.used-refspec can be  used  to  configure  this  in  a  more  permanent
              fashion.

REFSPEC FORMAT

       The  refspec  format  for --used-refspec is a colon-separated list of additions and removals of refs. For
       example:

        +refs/heads/*:+HEAD^:+refs/tags/*:-refs/tags/old-tag

       This adds all refs/heads/ refs, as well as the previous version of HEAD. It also adds  all  tags,  except
       for old-tag.

       The  refspec  is processed by starting with an empty set of refs, and walking the list in order from left
       to right.

       Each + using a glob is matched against all relevant refs (a subset of git show-ref) and all matching refs
       are added to the set.  For example, "+refs/remotes/*" adds all remote refs.

       Each + without a glob adds the literal value to the set.  For example, "+HEAD^" adds "HEAD^".

       Each  -  is  matched  against the set of refs accumulated so far.  Any matching refs are removed from the
       set.

       "reflog" adds all the refs from the reflog. This will make past versions of files not be considered to be
       unused  until the ref expires from the reflog (by default for 90 days). Note that this may make git-annex
       unused take some time to complete, it if needs to check every ref from the reflog.
