NAME

6       git-annex-reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex reinit uuid|description
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Normally,  initializing a repository generates a new, unique identifier
13       (UUID) for that repository. Occasionally it may be useful  to  reuse  a
14       UUID -- for example, if a repository got deleted, and you're setting it
15       back up.
16
17       Use this with caution; it can be confusing to have two existing reposi‐
18       tories with the same UUID.
19
20       Make  sure  you run git annex fsck after changing the UUID of a reposi‐
21       tory to make sure location tracking information is recorded correctly.
22
23       Like git annex init, this attempts to enable any special  remotes  that
24       are configured with autoenable=true.
25

OPTIONS

27       --json
28
29              Enable  JSON  output.  This is intended to be parsed by programs
30              that use git-annex.
31
32       --json-error-messages
33              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are in‐
34              cluded in the JSON instead.
35
36       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
