💖 git-annex-schedule — get or set scheduled jobs 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual (yes, the git-annex-schedule(1) one, we're fancy now ✨). Sit down, grab a lil snack 🍓, and let's talk about making your repos do chores on a schedule. it's giving "roomba but for fsck" and honestly? obsessed. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-schedule — get or set scheduled jobs 🗓️

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

git annex schedule repository [expression]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the git-annex-assistant(1) daemon can be configured to run scheduled jobs. 🎀

Now, this is similar to cron and anacron — and lowkey if you prefer those, you can absolutely just use them instead, no hard feelings 🫶 — but the glow-up here is that it's integrated into git-annex. Which means it can do stuff like, oh you know, fsck a repository on a removable drive when the drive gets connected. the way that it just knows?? main character energy fr fr. 👑

When you run it with an expression, it configures scheduled jobs to run at a particular time. this is literally how you make the assistant periodically run incremental fscks. slay. 💖

When you run it without an expression, it just outputs the current scheduled jobs for that repository. no notes, just receipts. 📋

🧚 EXPRESSIONS 🧚

These actions are available:

• "fsck self"
• "fsck UUID" — where UUID is the UUID of a remote to fsck 💜

After the action comes the duration to allow the action to run, and finally the schedule of when to run it. order matters, bestie, don't freestyle it. 🌈

To schedule multiple jobs, separate them with "; " (that's a semicolon and a space, periodt). ✨

Some examples, copy-paste ready:

 fsck self 30m every day at any time
 fsck self 1h every month at 3 AM
 fsck self 1h on day 1 of every month at any time
 fsck self 1h every week divisible by 2 at any time

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

The git-annex-common-options(1) can be used. that's it, that's the whole section. iconic minimalism. 🤏✨

okay that's the whole page bestie, and this lil sign-off is standing in for the footer, which is just git-annex-schedule(1) from the General Commands Manual 🎀 (the manpage doesn't ship a version or date line, so that's all we've got, and we're not about to make one up — no cap). go forth and schedule responsibly, you got this 💖🦋✨
