git-annex-view(1)

NAME

   git-annex-view - enter a view branch

SYNOPSIS

   git  annex view [tag ...] [field=value ...] [field=glob ...] [!tag ...]
   [field!=value ...]

DESCRIPTION

   Uses metadata to build a view  branch  of  the  files  in  the  current
   branch,  and  checks  out  the  view  branch. Only files in the current
   branch whose metadata matches all the specified field values  and  tags
   will be shown in the view.

   Multiple  values for a metadata field can be specified, either by using
   a glob (field="*") or by listing each wanted value. The resulting  view
   will  put  files  in  subdirectories  according  to  the value of their
   fields.

   Once within such a view, you can make additional directories, and  copy
   or  move files into them. When you commit, the metadata will be updated
   to correspond to your  changes.  Deleting  files  and  committing  also
   updates the metadata.

   There  are  fields  corresponding  to  the  path to the file. So a file
   "foo/bar/baz/file" has fields "/=foo", "foo/=bar", and  "foo/bar/=baz".
   These  location  fields  can  be  used  the  same  as other metadata to
   construct the view.

   For example, /=foo will only include files from the  foo  directory  in
   the  view,  while  foo/=*  will  preserve the subdirectories of the foo
   directory in the view.

   To enter a view containing only files that lack a given metadata  field
   or  tag,  specify field!=value or !tag. Globs can also be used here, so
   field!="*" will enter a view containing only files that do not have the
   field set to any value.
