# git-annex-configremote(1)

changes special remote configuration

## NAME

git-annex-configremote - changes special remote configuration

## SYNOPSIS

git annex configemote **name\|uuid\|desc \[param=value ...\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Changes the configuration of a special remote that was set up earlier by **git-annex initremote**. The special remote does not need to be enabled for use in the current repository, and this command will not enable it.

This command can currently only be used to change the value of the **autoenable** parameter, eg "autoenable=false".

To change other parameters, use **git-annex enableremote**

## OPTIONS

Most options are not prefixed by a dash, and set parameters of the remote, as shown above.

Also, the [git-annex-common-options(1)](/git-annex-common-options/1.md) can be used.
