addremove¶

vb addremove [OPTIONS]

Description¶

Do all necessary add and rm commands to synchronize the repository with the content of the working check-out:

All files in the check-out but not in the repository (that is,
all files displayed using the "extras" command) are added as
if by the "add" command.

All files in the repository but missing from the check-out (that is,
all files that show as MISSING with the "status" command) are
removed as if by the "rm" command.

Note that this command does not commit, as that is a separate step.

Files and directories whose names begin with . are ignored unless the --dotfiles option is used.

The --ignore option overrides the ignore-glob setting, as do the --case-sensitive option with the case-sensitive setting and the --clean option with the clean-glob setting. See the documentation on the settings command for further information.

The -n|--dry-run option shows what would happen without actually doing anything.

This command can be used to track third party software.

Options¶

--case-sensitive BOOL¶: Override the case-sensitive setting

--dotfiles¶: Include files beginning with a dot (.)

--ignore CSG¶: Ignore unmanaged files matching patterns from the Comma Separated Glob (CSG) list

--clean CSG¶: Also ignore files matching patterns from the Comma Separated Glob (CSG) list

-n, --dry-run¶: If given, display instead of run actions

--reset¶: Reset the ADDED/DELETED state of a check-out, such that all newly added (but not yet committed) files are no longer added and all newly removed (but not yet committed) files are no longer removed. No flags other than --verbose and --dry-run may be used with --reset.

-v, --verbose¶: Outputs information about each --reset file. Only usable with --reset.
