NAME

       git-annex-satisfy - transfer and drop content as configured

SYNOPSIS

       git annex satisfy [remote ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  transfers  and  drops  content  of  annexed  files  to work toward satisfying the preferred content
       settings of the local repository and remotes.

       It does the same thing as git-annex sync --content without the pulling and pushing of  git  repositories,
       and without changing the trees that are imported to or exported from special remotes.

       Note  that it (like git-annex-sync or git-annex-assist) does not work specifically towards satisfying the
       git-annex-numcopies setting, unless the preferred content setting of the local repository is  written  to
       do so by using eg approxlackingcopies=1.

OPTIONS

       [remote]

              By   default   this   command   operates   on   all   remotes,   except   for  remotes  that  have
              remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false.

              By specifying the names of remotes (or remote groups), you can control which ones to operate on.

       --content-of=path -C path
              Operate on only files in the specified path. The default is to operate on all files in the working
              tree.

              This option can be repeated multiple times with different paths.

              Note that this option is ignored when syncing with "exporttree=yes" remotes.

       --jobs=N -JN
              Enables parallel processing with up to the specified number of jobs running at once. For  example:
              -J10

              Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.

       --all -A
              Usually  this  command  operates  on  annexed  files  in the current branch.  This option makes it
              operate on all available versions of all annexed files (when preferred content settings allow).

              Note that preferred content settings that use include= or exclude= will only match the version  of
              files currently in the work tree, but not past versions of files.

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