# git-annex-updatecluster(1)

update records of cluster nodes

## NAME

git-annex-updatecluster - update records of cluster nodes

## SYNOPSIS

git-annex updatecluster

## DESCRIPTION

This command is used to record the nodes of a cluster in the git-annex branch, and set up proxying to the nodes. It should be run in the repository that will serve as a gateway to the cluster.

It looks at the git config **remote.name.annex-cluster-node** of each remote. When that is set to the name of a cluster that has been initialized with **git-annex initcluster**, the node will be recorded in the git-annex branch.

To remove a node from a cluster, unset **remote.name.annex-cluster-node** and run this command.

To add additional gateways to a cluster, after running this command, use git-annex-extendcluster.

## OPTIONS

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