git-annex-initremote(1)

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=[email protected] 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 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).  For
   details   about   ways   to  configure  encryption,  see  <https://git-
   annex.branchable.com/encryption/>

   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)
