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

NAME
       git-annex-upgrade - upgrade repository

SYNOPSIS
       git annex upgrade

DESCRIPTION
       Upgrades the repository to the latest version.

       Each git-annex repository has an annex.version in its git
       configuration, that indicates the repository version. When an old
       repository version becomes deprecated, git-annex will automatically
       upgrade it (unless annex.autoupgraderepository is set to false). To
       manually upgrade, you can use this command.

       Sometimes there's a newer repository version that is not the default
       yet, and then you can use this command to upgrade to it.

       Currently, git-annex supports upgrades all the way back to version 0,
       which was only used by its author. It's expected that git-annex will
       always support upgrading from all past repository versions -- this is
       necessary to allow archives to be taken offline for years and later
       used.

OPTIONS
       --autoonly

              Only do whatever automatic upgrade can be done, don't
              necessarily upgrade to the latest version. This is used
              internally by git-annex.

       --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs
              that use git-annex.

       --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.
