# NAME

git-annex describe - change description of a repository

# SYNOPSIS

git annex describe repository description

# DESCRIPTION

Changes the description of a repository.

The repository to describe can be specified by git remote name or
by uuid. To change the description of the current repository, use
"here".

Repository descriptions are displayed by git-annex in various places.
They are most useful when git-annex knows about a repository, but there is
no git remote corresponding to it.

expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well. 2015-05-29 16:12:55 +00:00			`[[git-annex-init]](1)`
