NAME

   git-annex-addurl - add urls to annex

SYNOPSIS

   git annex addurl [url ...]

DESCRIPTION

   Downloads each url to its own file, which is added to the annex.

   When  quvi  is  installed, urls are automatically tested to see if they
   point to a video hosting site, and the video is downloaded instead.

   Urls to torrent files (including magnet links) will cause  the  content
   of the torrent to be downloaded, using aria2c.

   Normally  the  filename  is  based  on  the full url, so will look like
   "www.example.com_dir_subdir_bigfile". In some cases, addurl is able  to
   come  up with a better filename based on other information. Options can
   also be used to get better filenames.

OPTIONS

   --fast

          Avoid immediately downloading the url. The url is still  checked
          (via  HEAD)  to  verify  that  it exists, and to get its size if
          possible.

   --relaxed
          Avoid storing the size of the url's content, and accept whatever
          content is there at a future point. (Implies --fast.)

   --raw  Prevent  special handling of urls by quvi, bittorrent, and other
          special remotes. This will for example, make addurl download the
          .torrent file and not the contents it points to.

   --file=name
          Use  with  a  filename that does not yet exist to add a new file
          with the specified name and the content downloaded from the url.

          If the file already exists, addurl will record that  it  can  be
          downloaded from the specified url(s).

   --pathdepth=N
          Rather  than basing the filename on the whole url, this causes a
          path to be constructed, starting at the specified  depth  within
          the path of the url.

          For           example,          adding          the          url
          http://www.example.com/dir/subdir/bigfile   with   --pathdepth=1
          will  use  "dir/subdir/bigfile",  while  --pathdepth=3  will use
          "bigfile".

          It can also be negative; --pathdepth=-2 will use  the  last  two
          parts of the url.

   --prefix=foo --suffix=bar
          Use  to  adjust  the  filenames  that are created by addurl. For
          example, --suffix=.mp3 can be used to add an  extension  to  the
          file.

   --jobs=N -JN
          Enables  parallel  downloads when multiple urls are being added.
          For example: -J4

   --batch
          Enables batch mode, in which lines containing urls  to  add  are
          read from stdin.

   --with-files
          When  batch  mode  is enabled, makes it parse lines of the form:
          "$url $file"

          That adds the specified url to the specified  file,  downloading
          its  content  if  the  file  does not yet exist; the same as git
          annex addurl $url --file $file

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

CAVEATS

   If annex.largefiles is configured, and does not match a file, git annex
   addurl will add the non-large file  directly  to  the  git  repository,
   instead  of  to  the  annex.  However,  this is not done when --fast or
   --relaxed is used.
