NAME

6       git-annex-rekey - change keys used for files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex rekey [file key ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This plumbing-level command is similar to migrate, but you specify both
13       the file, and the new key to use for it.
14
15       Multiple pairs of file and key can be given in a single command line.
16
17       Note that, unlike git-annex migrate, this does not copy over  metadata,
18       urls, and other such information from the old to the new key
19

OPTIONS

21       --force
22
23              Allow  rekeying  of  even  files  whose content is not currently
24              available.  Use with caution.
25
26       --batch
27              Enables batch mode, in which lines are read  from  stdin.   Each
28              line  should  contain  the file, and the new key to use for that
29              file, separated by a single space.
30
31       -z     Makes the --batch input be delimited by  nulls  instead  of  the
32              usual newlines.
33
34       --json Enable  JSON  output.  This is intended to be parsed by programs
35              that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
36
37       --json-error-messages
38              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are in‐
39              cluded in the JSON instead.
40
41       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
