git-annex-add(1)

NAME

   git-annex-add - adds files to the git annex

SYNOPSIS

   git annex add [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

   Adds  the  specified  files  to the annex. If a directory is specified,
   acts on all files inside the directory and its subdirectories.   If  no
   path is specified, adds files from the current directory and below.

   Files that are already checked into git and are unmodified, or that git
   has been configured to ignore will be silently skipped.

   If annex.largefiles is configured, and does not match a file, git annex
   add will behave the same as git add and add the non-large file directly
   to the git repository, instead of to the annex.

   Large files are added to the  annex  in  locked  form,  which  prevents
   further   modification   of  their  content  unless  unlocked  by  git-
   annex-unlock(1).  (This is not the case however when a repository is in
   a  filesystem not supporting symlinks, or is in direct mode.)  To add a
   file to the annex in unlocked form, git add can be used  instead  (that
   only works when the repository has annex.version 6 or higher).

   This  command  can also be used to add symbolic links, both symlinks to
   annexed content, and other symlinks.

OPTIONS

   --include-dotfiles

          Dotfiles are skipped unless explicitly listed,  or  unless  this
          option is used.

   --force
          Add gitignored files.

   --backend
          Specifies which key-value backend to use.

   file matching options
          Many of the git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify
          files to add.

          For example: --largerthan=1GB

   --jobs=N -JN
          Adds multiple files  in  parallel.  This  may  be  faster.   For
          example: -J4

   --json Enable  JSON  output.  This is intended to be parsed by programs
          that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.

   --batch
          Enables batch mode, in which a file to add is  read  in  a  line
          from stdin, the file is added, and repeat.

          Note  that  if  a  file  is  skipped (due to not existing, being
          gitignored, already being in git etc), an  empty  line  will  be
          output instead of the normal output produced when adding a file.
