SYNOPSIS¶

datalad add-archive-content [-h] [--annex ANNEX] [--add-archive-leading-dir] [--strip-leading-dirs] [--leading-dirs-depth LEADING_DIRS_DEPTH] [--leading-dirs-consider LEADING_DIRS_CONSIDER] [--use-current-dir] [-d] [--key] [-e EXCLUDE] [-r RENAME] [--existing {fail,overwrite,archive-suffix,numeric-suffix}] [-o ANNEX_OPTIONS] [--copy] [--no-commit] [--allow-dirty] [--stats STATS] [--drop-after] [--delete-after] archive

DESCRIPTION¶

This results in the files within archive (which must be already under annex control itself) added under annex referencing original archive via custom special remotes mechanism

Example:

annex-repo$ datalad add-archive-content my_big_tarball.tar.gz

OPTIONS¶

archive

archive file or a key (if --key specified). Constraints: value must be a string

-h, --help, --help-np

show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message

--annex ANNEX

annex instance to use.

--add-archive-leading-dir

flag to place extracted content under a directory which would correspond to archive name with suffix stripped. E.g. for archive EXAMPLE.ZIP its content will be extracted under a directory EXAMPLE/.

--strip-leading-dirs

flag to move all files directories up, from how they were stored in an archive, if that one contained a number (possibly more than 1 down) single leading directories.

--leading-dirs-depth LEADING_DIRS_DEPTH

maximal depth to strip leading directories to. If not specified (None), no limit.

--leading-dirs-consider LEADING_DIRS_CONSIDER

regular expression(s) for directories to consider to strip away. Constraints: value must be a string

--use-current-dir

flag to extract archive under the current directory, not the directory where archive is located. Note that it will be of no effect if --key is given.

-d, --delete

flag to delete original archive from the filesystem/git in current tree. Note that it will be of no effect if --key is given.

--key

flag to signal if provided archive is not actually a filename on its own but an annex key.

-e EXCLUDE, --exclude EXCLUDE

regular expressions for filenames which to exclude from being added to annex. Applied after --rename if that one is specified. For exact matching, use anchoring. Constraints: value must be a string

-r RENAME, --rename RENAME

regular expressions to rename files before being added under git. First letter defines how to split provided string into two parts: Python regular expression (with groups), and replacement string. Constraints: value must be a string

--existing {fail, overwrite, archive-suffix, numeric-suffix}

what operation to perform a file from archive tries to overwrite an existing file with the same name. 'fail' (default) leads to RuntimeError exception. 'overwrite' silently replaces existing file. 'archive-suffix' instructs to add a suffix (prefixed with a '-') matching archive name from which file gets extracted, and if that one present, 'numeric-suffix' is in effect in addition, when incremental numeric suffix (prefixed with a '.') is added until no name collision is longer detected. [Default: 'fail']

-o ANNEX_OPTIONS, --annex-options ANNEX_OPTIONS

additional options to pass to git-annex. Constraints: value must be a string

--copy

flag to copy the content of the archive instead of moving.

--no-commit

flag to not commit upon completion.

--allow-dirty

flag that operating on a dirty repository (uncommitted or untracked content) is ok.

--stats STATS

ActivityStats instance for global tracking.

--drop-after

drop extracted files after adding to annex.

--delete-after

extract under a temporary directory, git-annex add, and delete after. To be used to "index" files within annex without actually creating corresponding files under git. Note that `annex dropunused` would later remove that load.
