git-annex-rekey - change keys used for files
Contents
Description
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-annexmigrate, this does not copy over metadata, urls, and other such information
from the old to the new key
Name
git-annex-rekey - change keys used for files
Options
--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.
