NAME

git-annex-rekey − change keys used for files

SYNOPSIS

git annex rekey [file key ...]

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-annex migrate, this does not copy over metadata, urls, and other such information from the old to the new key

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.
