git-annex-numcopies(1)

NAME
git-annex-numcopies - configure desired number of copies

SYNOPSIS
git annex numcopies N

DESCRIPTION
Tells git-annex how many copies it should preserve of files, over all repositories. The default is 1.

Run without a number to get the current value.

When git-annex is asked to drop a file, it first verifies that the required number of copies can be satisfied among all the other repositories that have a copy of the file.

This can be overridden on a per-file basis by the annex.numcopies setting in .gitattributes files.
