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.

       When  no item is specified, displays overall information. This includes a list of all known repositories,
       how much annexed data is present in the local repository, the total size  of  all  annexed  data  in  the
       working  tree,  the  combined  size  of  annexed  data  in  all repositories, and the annex sizes of each
       repository.

       When a directory is specified, displays information about  the  annexed  files  in  that  directory  (and
       subdirectories).   This includes how much annexed data is present in the local repository, the total size
       of all annexed data in the directory, how many files have the specified numcopies or more (+1, +2 etc) or
       less (-1, -2 etc), and information about how much of the annexed data is stored in known repositories.

       When a treeish is specified, displays similar information as when a directory is specified, but about the
       annexed files in that treeish.

       When a remote, or description of a repository, or uuid  is  specified,  displays  information  about  the
       specified  repository,  including  the  total  amount  of  annexed  data  stored  in it, and a variety of
       configuration information.

OPTIONS

       --fast

              Only show the information 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.

       --autoenable
              Display a list of special remotes that have been configured to autoenable.

       --dead-repositories
              Display a list of repositories that have been marked as dead.  Such repositories are not displayed
              in other info displays.

       matching options
              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to select what to include in the statistics.

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

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
