Synopsis

usage: dvc remote rename [-h] [--global | --system | --project | --local] [-q | -v]
                         name new

positional arguments:

Description

This command modify a section in the DVC config file. Alternatively, it is possible to edit config files manually.

See also dvc remote modify to change other aspects of remote configuration, such as the URL or access credentials.

Both name and new arguments are required, with the old and new names for the DVC remote, respectively.

Options

• --system - modify the system config file (e.g. /etc/xdg/dvc/config) instead of .dvc/config.
• --global - modify the global config file (e.g. ~/.config/dvc/config) instead of .dvc/config.
• --project - modify the project's config file (.dvc/config). This is the default behavior.
• --local - modify the Git-ignored local config file (located in .dvc/config.local) instead of .dvc/config.
• -h, --help - prints the usage/help message, and exit.
• -q, --quiet - do not write anything to standard output. Exit with 0 if no problems arise, otherwise 1.
• -v, --verbose - displays detailed tracing information.
