PROGRAM:

NAME


git-annex-initremote - creates a special (non-git) remote

SYNOPSIS


git annex initremote name type=value [param=value ...]

DESCRIPTION


Creates a new special remote, and adds it to .git/config.

Example Amazon S3 remote:

git annex initremote mys3 type=S3 encryption=hybrid keyid=me@example.com datacenter=EU

Many different types of special remotes are supported by git-annex. For a list and
details, see <https://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/>

The remote's configuration is specified by the parameters passed to this command.
Different types of special remotes need different configuration values. The command will
prompt for parameters as needed.

All special remotes support encryption. You can either specify encryption=none to disable
encryption, or specify encryption=hybrid keyid=$keyid ... to specify a GPG key id (or an
email address associated with a key).

There are actually three schemes that can be used for management of the encryption keys.
When using the encryption=hybrid scheme, additional GPG keys can be given access to the
encrypted special remote easily (without re-encrypting everything). When using
encryption=shared, a shared key is generated and stored in the git repository, allowing
anyone who can clone the git repository to access it. Finally, when using
encryption=pubkey, content in the special remote is directly encrypted to the specified
GPG keys, and additional ones cannot easily be given access.

If you anticipate using the new special remote in other clones of the repository, you can
pass "autoenable=true". Then when git-annex-init(1) is run in a new clone, it will attempt
to enable the special remote. Of course, this works best when the special remote does not
need anything special to be done to get it enabled.

OPTIONS


--fast

When initializing a remote that uses encryption, a cryptographic key is created.
This requires sufficient entropy. If initremote seems to hang or take a long time
while generating the key, you may want to Ctrl-c it and re-run with --fast, which
causes it to use a lower-quality source of randomness. (Ie, /dev/urandom instead of
/dev/random)
