<p>Yes, you can certainly edit .git/config in any way you like and the assistant will use the new values when started back up.</p>
<p>It shouldn't be using a hardcoded IP address normally, unless you manually entered an IP address when setting up that ssh remote. Using DNS is better..</p>
like dropbox, with your own cloud http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Change_remote_server_address/comment_2_93a4c44d552efe6d51584e0aab3605e7/hasard2015-08-26T17:49:16Z2015-08-26T17:49:16Z
<p>just to be complete: during setup some useful assistant may have created rsa keys so that the assistant can access remote hosts without password and following the update of .git/config you probably will need to update .ssh/config as well.</p>
<p>Like many things with git annex and the assistant, its just "like dropbox with your own cloud", but you need first to become expert in editing .git/config and .ssh/config.</p>
