git-annex-registerurl − registers an url for a key
git annex registerurl [key url]
This plumbing−level command can be used to register urls where a key can be downloaded from.
No verification is performed of the url’s contents.
Normally the key is a git-annex formatted key. However, to make it easier to use this to add urls, if the key cannot be parsed as a key, and is a valid url, an URL key is constructed from the url.
Registering an url also makes git-annex treat the key as present in the special remote that claims it. (Usually the web special remote.)
−−remote=name|uuid
Indicate that the url is expected to be claimed by the specified remote. If some other remote claims the url instead, registering it will fail.
Note that −−remote=web will prevent any other remote from claiming the url.
−−batch
In batch input mode, lines are read from stdin, and each line should contain a key and url, separated by a single space.
For backwards compatability with old git-annex before this option was added, when no key and url pair are specified on the command line, batch input is used, the same as if the −−batch option were specified. It is however recommended to use −−batch.
|
−z |
When in batch mode, the input is delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines. |
(Note that for this to be used, you have to explicitly enable batch mode with −−batch)
|
−−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−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.
