6 git-annex-renameremote - changes name of a special remote
7
9 git annex renameremote name|uuid|desc newname
10
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 to
15 rename, but 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.

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.
