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".
