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.
--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
This causes a shorter filename to be used. For example,
--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.
