# NAME
git-annex addurl - add urls to annex
# SYNOPSIS
git annex addurl `[url ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Downloads each url to its own file, which is added to the annex.
When `youtube-dl` is installed, it's used to check for a video embedded in
a web page at the url, and that is added to the annex instead.
Urls to torrent files (including magnet links) will cause the content of
the torrent to be downloaded, using `aria2c`.
Normally the filename is based on the full url, so will look like
"www.example.com_dir_subdir_bigfile". In some cases, addurl is able to
come up with a better filename based on other information. Options can also
be used to get better filenames.
# OPTIONS
* `--fast`
Avoid immediately downloading the url. The url is still checked
(via HEAD) to verify that it exists, and to get its size if possible.
* `--relaxed`
Don't immediately download the url, and avoid storing the size of the
url's content. This makes git-annex accept whatever content is there
at a future point.
This is the fastest option, but it still has to access the network
to check if the url contains embedded media. When adding large numbers
of urls, using `--relaxed --raw` is much faster.
* `--raw`
Prevent special handling of urls by youtube-dl, bittorrent, and other
special remotes. This will for example, make addurl
download the .torrent file and not the contents it points to.
* `--file=name`
Use with a filename that does not yet exist to add a new file
with the specified name and the content downloaded from the url.
If the file already exists, addurl will record that it can be downloaded
from the specified url(s).
* `--pathdepth=N`
Rather than basing the filename on the whole url, this causes a path to
be constructed, starting at the specified depth within the path of the
url.
For example, adding the url http://www.example.com/dir/subdir/bigfile
with `--pathdepth=1` will use "dir/subdir/bigfile",
while `--pathdepth=3` will use "bigfile".
It can also be negative; `--pathdepth=-2` will use the last
two parts of the url.
* `--prefix=foo` `--suffix=bar`
Use to adjust the filenames that are created by addurl. For example,
`--suffix=.mp3` can be used to add an extension to the file.
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
Enables parallel downloads when multiple urls are being added.
For example: `-J4`
* `--batch`
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing urls to add are read from
stdin.
* `--with-files`
When batch mode is enabled, makes it parse lines of the form: "$url $file"
That adds the specified url to the specified file, downloading its
content if the file does not yet exist; the same as
`git annex addurl $url --file $file`
* `--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.
# CAVEATS
If annex.largefiles is configured, and does not match a file, `git annex
addurl` will add the non-large file directly to the git repository,
instead of to the annex. However, this is not done when --fast or --relaxed
is used.
