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 to re‐
15       name, 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  re‐
20       name 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 an‐
26       nex enableremote. It does not update the git config stanza for the spe‐
27       cial  remote  to  use  the new name, but of course you can edit the git
28       config if you want to rename it there.
