When not using the HF accelerate library, I can control the project and run name in wandb in the following way:
```python
wandb.init(project='my_research')
wandb.run.name = 'dogs_are_awesome_' + str(experiment_number)
```
Is there a way to do this using the experiment tracker objects in Accelerate?

Not sure about Accelerate, but if there is a wandb process running on your machine you can probably still just call `wandb.run.name`, without having to use the Accelerate experiment tracker object

Assuming that wandb is the only tracker, you can do:
```python
accelerate = Accelerator(log_with="wandb")
accelerate.init_trackers("my_research")
accelerate.trackers[0].run.name = f'dogs_are_awesome_{experiment_number}'
```
@morgan do we think that it should be easier to access `.run` in the wandb tracker specifically in Accelerate? (do people modify/use it often?)

Yeah I think so, i do see it used for things like the above that it would be handy to have easy access to it

@morgan@muellerzr to give you an idea of my usecase, being able to change the run name helps me when running multiple experiments. Basically, I read in several config json files and I associate those files with the run name. That way when I launch wandb I can track the config file and respective experiment.
Thanks for the response!
