NAME

       git-annex-watch - daemon to watch for changes

SYNOPSIS

       git annex watch

DESCRIPTION

       Watches  for  changes  to  files  in  the  current  directory  and  its subdirectories, and takes care of
       automatically adding new files, as well as dealing with deleted,  copied,  and  moved  files.  With  this
       running  as a daemon in the background, you no longer need to manually run git commands when manipulating
       your files.

       By default, all new files in the directory will be added to the  repository.   (Including  dotfiles.)  To
       block some files from being added, 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

       --foreground

              Avoid forking to the background.

       --stop Stop a running daemon in the current repository.

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