Description

Create a dataset representation at OSF.

This will create a node on OSF and initialize an osf special remote to point to it. There are two modes this can operate in: ‘annex’ and ‘export’. The former uses the OSF node as a key-value store, that can be used by git-annex to copy data to and retrieve data from (potentially by any clone of the original dataset). The latter allows to use ‘git annex export’ to publish a snapshot of a particular version of the dataset. Such an OSF node will - in opposition to the ‘annex’ - be human-readable.

For authentication with OSF, you can define environment variables: Either ‘OSF_TOKEN’, or both ‘OSF_USERNAME’ and ‘OSF_PASSWORD’. If neither of these is defined, the tool will fall back to the datalad credential manager and inquire for credentials interactively.

Options

-h, -\-help, -\-help-np

show this help message. –help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message

-\-title TITLE

title of the to-be created OSF node that is displayed on the OSF website. Defaults to the basename of the root directory of the local dataset. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

-s NAME, -\-name NAME

Name of the to-be initialized osf-special-remote. Constraints: value must be a string [Default: ‘osf’]

-\-storage-name NAME

Name of the storage sibling (git-annex special remote). Must not be identical to the sibling name. If not specified, defaults to the sibling name plus ‘-storage’ suffix. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

-d DATASET, -\-dataset DATASET

Dataset to create a sibling for. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) or value must be NONE

-\-mode {annex|export|exportonly|gitonly}

[Default: ‘annex’]

-\-existing MODE

Action to perform, if a (storage) sibling is already configured under the given name and/or a target already exists. In this case, a dataset can be skipped (‘skip’), or the command be instructed to fail (‘error’). Constraints: value must be one of (‘skip’, ‘error’) or value must be NONE [Default: ‘error’]

-\-trust-level TRUST-LEVEL

specify a trust level for the storage sibling. If not specified, the default git-annex trust level is used. Constraints: value must be one of (‘trust’, ‘semitrust’, ‘untrust’) or value must be NONE

-\-tag TAG

specific one or more tags for the to-be-create OSF node. A tag ‘DataLad dataset’ and the dataset ID (if there is any) will be automatically added as additional tags. This option can be given more than once.

-\-public

make OSF node public.

-\-category {analysis|communication|data|hypothesis|instrumentation|methods and measures|procedure|project|software|other}

specific the OSF node category to be used for the node. The categorization determines what icon is displayed with the node on the OSF, and helps with search organization. Constraints: value must be one of (‘analysis’, ‘communication’, ‘data’, ‘hypothesis’, ‘instrumentation’, ‘methods and measures’, ‘procedure’, ‘project’, ‘software’, ‘other’) [Default: ‘data’]

-\-description TEXT

Description of the OSF node that will be displayed on the associated project page. By default a description will be generated based on the mode the sibling is put into. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

-\-version

show the module and its version which provides the command
