NAME

       git-annex-upgrade - upgrade repository

SYNOPSIS

       git annex upgrade

DESCRIPTION

       Upgrades the repository to the latest version.

       Each  git-annex  repository  has an annex.version in its git configuration, that indicates the repository
       version. When an old repository version becomes  deprecated,  git-annex  will  automatically  upgrade  it
       (unless annex.autoupgraderepository is set to false). To manually upgrade, you can use this command.

       Sometimes  there's  a  newer  repository  version  that is not the default yet, and then you can use this
       command to upgrade to it.

       Currently, git-annex supports upgrades all the way back to version 0, which was only used by its  author.
       It's  expected  that git-annex will always support upgrading from all past repository versions -- this is
       necessary to allow archives to be taken offline for years and later used.

OPTIONS

       --autoonly

              Only do whatever automatic upgrade can be done, don't necessarily upgrade to the  latest  version.
              This is used internally by git-annex.

       --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex.

       --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.
