NAME

       git-annex-assist - add files and sync changes with remotes

SYNOPSIS

       git annex assist [remote ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  assists  you  in  checking  files  into  the repository and syncing with remotes. It's the
       simplest possible way to use git-annex at the command line, since only this one command needs to  be  run
       on a regular basis.

       This command first adds any new files to the repository, and commits those as well as any modified files.
       Then it does the equivilant of running [[git-annex-pull](1) followed by git-annex-push(1).

       This  command  operates on all files in the whole working tree, even when ran in a subdirectory. To limit
       it to operating on files in a subdirectory, use the --content-of option.

       To block some files from being added to the repository, use .gitignore files.

       By default, all files that are added are added to the annex, the same as when you run git annex  add.  If
       you configure annex.largefiles, files that it does not match will instead be added with git add.

OPTIONS

       --message=msg -m msg

              Use this option to specify a commit message.

              If multiple -m options are given, their values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.

       --content-of=path -C path
              Only add, pull, and push files in the given path.

              This option can be repeated multiple times with different paths.

       Also all options supported by git-annex-pull(1) and
              git-annex-push(1) can be used.

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