I initialized local repository with
git-annex init $HOSTNAME --version=6
unfortunately I didn't change HOSTNAME on a new machine and it was 'localhost.localdomain'. I didn't notice that before I cloned a git-annex repository.
Now in the remote repository when I run git-annex info (and same in local repository), I see
$ git-annex info
...
semitrusted repositories: 6
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002 -- bittorrent
0085(maybe it's not secure to write it on the internet)-e8f803a -- localhost.localdomain
...
(and other repositories. By the way, I never initialized 'web' and 'bittorent', where did they get from?)
I would like 'localhost.localdomain' to become my real $HOSTNAME, so that I would distinguish that machine. How could I do that?
I found How to rename a remote, but my 'localhost' is not listed in git-remotes.
I grep-ed .git for 'localhost.localdomain', and changed .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG. However, after running git-annex sync it returns to 'localhost.localdomain'.
$ more .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
git-annex in Acer
$ git-annex sync
...
$ more .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
git-annex in localhost.localdomain
I would like to change 'localhost' to my real machine name both on the remote repository from which I cloned and on local repository. Thank you.
That's not the name of the repository, it's a description of the repository.
You can use
git annex describeto adjust the description of that or any repository. This will affect all clones of the repository once the description change is synced out to them.I'm able to change the description of my repo but not the name, which is by default and in that case [here]
How I could edit the name and/or name it properly when I init it ?
[here]can't be changed, it just means "it is this local repository". Now, if you add another repository as a git remote, then it'll show<description>[<name of git remote>]for the git remote.Yes, "here" is hardcoded. It could be made configurable in the git config, if there's actually a good reason to want to.
