       This plumbing-level command can be used to register urls where a key can be downloaded from.

       No verification is performed of the url's contents.

       Normally the key is a git-annex formatted key. However, to make it easier to use this to add urls, if the
       key cannot be parsed as a key, and is a valid url, an URL key is constructed from the url.

       Registering  an  url  also makes git-annex treat the key as present in the special remote that claims it.
       (Usually the web special remote.)

--remote=name|uuid

              Indicate that the url is expected to be claimed by the specified remote.   If  some  other  remote
              claims the url instead, registering it will fail.

              Note that --remote=web will prevent any other remote from claiming the url.

       --batch
              In  batch  input  mode,  lines  are  read  from stdin, and each line should contain a key and url,
              separated by a single space.

              For backwards compatability with old git-annex before this option was added, when no key  and  url
              pair  are  specified  on  the command line, batch input is used, the same as if the --batch option
              were specified. It is however recommended to use --batch.

       -z     When in batch mode, the input is delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

              (Note that for this to be used, you have to explicitly enable batch mode with --batch)

       --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-error-messages
              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the JSON instead.

       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
