NAME

       git-annex-dead - hide a lost repository or key

SYNOPSIS

       git annex dead [repository ...] [--key somekey ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  exists to deal with situations where data has been lost, and you know it has, and you want
       to stop being reminded of that fact.

       When a repository is specified, indicates that the repository has been irretrievably lost, so it will not
       be listed in eg, git annex whereis.  Repositories  can  be  specified  using  their  remote  name,  their
       description, or their UUID. (To undo, use git-annex semitrust.)

       When  a  key is specified, indicates that the content of that key has been irretrievably lost. This makes
       the key be skipped when operating on all keys with eg --all.  (To undo, add the key's content back to the
       repository, by using eg, git-annex reinject.)

OPTIONS

       --key=somekey

              Use to specify a key that is dead.

       --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.
