git-annex-rekey - change keys used for files
git annex rekey [file key ...]
This plumbing-level command is similar to migrate, but you specify
both the file, and the new key to use for it.
Multiple pairs of file and key can be given in a single command
line.
Note that, unlike git-annex migrate, this does not copy
over metadata, urls, and other such information from the old to the new
key
- --force
- Allow rekeying of even files whose content is not currently available. Use
with caution.
- --batch
- Enables batch mode, in which lines are read from stdin. Each line should
contain the file, and the new key to use for that file, separated by a
single space.
- -z
- Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
newlines.
- --json
- Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
- --json-error-messages
- Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the JSON instead.
- Also the
git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
