git-annex-assistant(1) General Commands Manual git-annex-assistant(1)
NAME
git-annex-assistant - daemon to add files and automatically sync
changes
SYNOPSIS
git annex assistant
DESCRIPTION
Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its
subdirectories, and automatically syncs them to other remotes. This
includes adding new files. New files published to remotes by others are
also automatically downloaded.
By default, all new files in the directory will be added to the
repository. (Including dotfiles.) To block some files from being
added, use .gitignore files.
By default, all files that are added are added to the annex, the same
as when you run git annex add. If you configure annex.largefiles, files
that it does not match will instead be added with git add.
OPTIONS
--autostart
Automatically starts the assistant running in each repository
listed in the file ~/.config/git-annex/autostart
This is typically started at boot, or when you log in.
--startdelay=N
Wait N seconds before running the startup scan. This process can
be expensive and you may not want to run it immediately upon
login.
When --autostart is used, defaults to --startdelay=5.
--foreground
Avoid forking to the background.
--stop Stop a running daemon in the current repository.
--autostop
The complement to --autostart; stops all running daemons in the
repositories listed in the autostart file.
Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
