NAME
git-annex reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
SYNOPSIS
git annex reinit uuid|description
DESCRIPTION
Normally, initializing a repository generates a new, unique identifier (UUID) for that repository. Occasionally it may be useful to reuse a UUID -- for example, if a repository got deleted, and you're setting it back up.
Use this with caution; it can be confusing to have two existing repositories with the same UUID.
Make sure you run git annex fsck
after changing the UUID of a
repository to make sure location tracking information is recorded
correctly.
Like git annex init
, this attempts to enable any special remotes
that are configured with autoenable=true.
OPTIONS
--json
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex.
--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.
