NAME

       git-annex-move - move content of files to/from another repository

SYNOPSIS

       git annex move [path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote|--to=here]

DESCRIPTION

       Moves the content of files from or to another remote.

       With  no  parameters,  operates  on  all  annexed  files  in  the  current  directory.  Paths of files or
       directories to operate on can be specified.

OPTIONS

       --from=remote

              Move the content of files from the specified remote to the local repository.

       --to=remote
              Move the content of files from the local repository to the specified remote.

       --to=here
              Move the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local repository.

       --from=remote1 --to=remote2
              Move the content of files that are in remote1 to remote2. Does not change what is  stored  in  the
              local repository.

              This  is implemented by first downloading the content from remote1 to the local repository (if not
              already present), then sending it to remote2,  and  then  deleting  the  content  from  the  local
              repository (if it was not present to start with).

       --from-anywhere --to=remote
              Move to the remote files from the local repository and from all reachable remotes.

       --force
              Override  numcopies  and  required  content  checking,  and  always  remove  files from the source
              repository once the destination repository has a copy.

              Note that, even without this option, you can move the content of a file  from  one  repository  to
              another  when numcopies is not satisfied, as long as the move does not result in there being fewer
              copies.

       --jobs=N -JN
              Enables parallel transfers 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.

              Note that when using --from with --to, twice this many jobs will run at once, evenly split between
              the two remotes.

       --all -A
              Rather  than  specifying a filename or path to move, this option can be used to move all available
              versions of all files.

              This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.

       --branch=ref
              Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.

       --unused
              Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.

       --failed
              Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.

       --key=keyname
              Use this option to move a specified key.

       matching options
              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to control what to move.

       --batch
              Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to move are read from stdin.

              As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is displayed. If a  file's  content
              does  not  need  to  be  moved,  or  it does not match specified matching options, or it is not an
              annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.

              Since the usual output while moving a file is verbose and not machine-parseable, you may  want  to
              use --json in combination with --batch.

       --batch-keys
              This is like --batch but the lines read from stdin are parsed as keys.

       -z     Makes batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

       --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-progress
              Include progress objects in JSON output.

       --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.
