NAME

6       git-annex-renameremote - changes name of a special remote
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex renameremote name|uuid|desc newname
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Changes the name that is used to enable a special remote.
13
14       Normally  the  current name is used to identify the special remote, but
15       its uuid or description can also be used.
16
17       This is especially useful when an old special remote used a  name,  and
18       now  you want to use that name for a new special remote. git annex ini‐
19       tremote won't let you create a  remote  with  a  conflicting  name,  so
20       rename the old remote first.
21
22        git annex renameremote phone lost-phone
23        git annex initremote phone ...
24
25       This  only  updates  the  name that git-annex has stored for use by git
26       annex enableremote. It does not update the git config  stanza  for  the
27       special  remote to use the new name, but of course you can edit the git
28       config if you want to rename it there.
