NAME

       git-annex-info - information about an item or the repository

SYNOPSIS

       git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|description|uuid ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Displays statistics and other information for the specified item, which can be a directory, or a file, or
       a treeish, or a remote, or the description or uuid of a repository.

       When  no  item  is  specified, displays statistics and information for the local repository and all known
       annexed files.

OPTIONS

       --fast

              Only show the data that can be gathered quickly.

       --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.

       --bytes
              Show file sizes in bytes, disabling the default nicer units.

       --batch
              Enable batch mode, in which a line containing an item is read from stdin, the information about it
              is output to stdout, and repeat.

       -z     Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

       file matching options
              When  a  directory is specified, the git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to select the files
              in the directory that are included in the statistics.

EXAMPLES

       Suppose you want to run "git annex get .", but would first like to see how much disk space that will use.
       Then run:

        git annex info --fast . --not --in here
