git-annex-registerurl(1)    General Commands Manual   git-annex-registerurl(1)

NAME
       git-annex-registerurl - registers an url for a key

SYNOPSIS
       git annex registerurl [key url]

DESCRIPTION
       This plumbing-level command can be used to register urls where a key
       can be downloaded from.

       No verification is performed of the url's contents.

       Normally the key is a git-annex formatted key. However, to make it
       easier to use this to add urls, if the key cannot be parsed as a key,
       and is a valid url, an URL key is constructed from the url.

       Registering an url also makes git-annex treat the key as present in the
       special remote that claims it. (Usually the web special remote.)

OPTIONS
       --remote=name|uuid

              Indicate that the url is expected to be claimed by the specified
              remote.  If some other remote claims the url instead,
              registering it will fail.

              Note that --remote=web will prevent any other remote from
              claiming the url.

       --batch
              In batch input mode, lines are read from stdin, and each line
              should contain a key and url, separated by a single space.

              For backwards compatability with old git-annex before this
              option was added, when no key and url pair are specified on the
              command line, batch input is used, the same as if the --batch
              option were specified. It is however recommended to use --batch.

       -z     When in batch mode, the input is delimited by nulls instead of
              the usual newlines.

              (Note that for this to be used, you have to explicitly enable
              batch mode with --batch)

       --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs
              that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.

       --json-error-messages
              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are
              included in the JSON instead.

       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
