# NAME
git-annex mincopies - configure minimum number of copies
# SYNOPSIS
git annex mincopies `N`
# DESCRIPTION
Tells git-annex how many copies it is required to preserve of files, over all
repositories. The default is 1.
Run without a number to get the current value.
This configuration is stored in the git-annex branch, so it will be seen
by all clones of the repository. It can be overridden on a per-file basis
by the annex.mincopies setting in .gitattributes files, or can be
overridden temporarily with the --mincopies option.
This supplements the [[git-annex-numcopies]](1) setting.
In unusual situations, involving special remotes that do not support
locking, and concurrent drops of the same content from multiple
repositories, git-annex may violate the numcopies setting.
In these unusual situations, git-annex ensures that the number of copies
never goes below mincopies.
