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

NAME
       git-annex-watch - daemon to watch for changes

SYNOPSIS
       git annex watch

DESCRIPTION
       Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its
       subdirectories, and takes care of automatically adding new files, as
       well as dealing with deleted, copied, and moved files. With this
       running as a daemon in the background, you no longer need to manually
       run git commands when manipulating your files.

       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
       --foreground

              Avoid forking to the background.

       --stop Stop a running daemon in the current repository.

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