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.
