NAME
git-annex-preferred-content -
DESCRIPTION
Each repository has a preferred content setting, which specifies content
that the repository wants to have present. These settings can be configured
using git annex vicfg
or git annex wanted
.
They are used by the --auto
option, by git annex sync --content
,
and by the git-annex assistant.
Preferred content expressions are similar, but not identical to the git-annex-matching-options(1), just without the dashes. For example:
exclude=archive/* and (include=*.mp3 or smallerthan=1mb)
The main differences are that exclude=
and include=
always
match relative to the top of the git repository, and that there is
no equivilant to --in
.
For more details about preferred content expressions, see See https://git-annex.branchable.com/preferred_content/
When a repository is in one of the standard predefined groups, like "backup" and "client", setting its preferred content to "standard" will use a built-in preferred content expression developed for that group. See https://git-annex.branchable.com/preferred_content/standard_groups/
If you have set a groupwanted expression for a group, it will be used when a repository in the group has its preferred content set to "groupwanted".
