22 git-repo-config \- Get and set options in .git/config
26 \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR [type] name [value [value_regex]]
27 \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR [type] \-\-replace\-all name [value [value_regex]]
28 \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR [type] \-\-get name [value_regex]
29 \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR [type] \-\-get\-all name [value_regex]
30 \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR [type] \-\-unset name [value_regex]
31 \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR [type] \-\-unset\-all name [value_regex]
37 You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command\&. The name is actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be escaped\&.
40 If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you should provide a POSIX regex for the value\&. If you want to handle the lines \fInot\fR matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES)\&.
43 The type specifier can be either \fI\-\-int\fR or \fI\-\-bool\fR, which will make \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, a "true" or "false" string for bool)\&. If no type specifier is passed, no checks or transformations are performed on the value\&.
46 This command will fail if
50 \&.git/config is invalid,
53 \&.git/config can not be written to,
56 no section was provided,
59 the section or key is invalid,
62 you try to unset an option which does not exist, or
65 you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match\&.
72 Default behaviour is to replace at most one line\&. This replaces all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex)
76 Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex matching the value)\&.
80 Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key is not exactly one\&.
84 Remove the line matching the key from \&.git/config\&.
88 Remove all matching lines from \&.git/config\&.
93 Given a \&.git/config like this:
97 # This is the config file, and
98 # a '#' or ';' character indicates
106 ; Don't trust file modes
113 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu\-diff \-u"
120 command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel\&.org/"
121 command="proxy\-command" for kernel\&.org
122 command="myprotocol\-command" for "my://"
123 command=default\-proxy ; for all the rest
127 you can set the filemode to true with
130 % git repo\-config core\&.filemode true
134 The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern to what URL they apply\&. Here is how to change the entry for kernel\&.org to "ssh"\&.
137 % git repo\-config proxy\&.command '"ssh" for kernel\&.org' 'for kernel\&.org$'
141 This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel\&.org is replaced\&.
144 To delete the entry for renames, do
147 % git repo\-config \-\-unset diff\&.renames
151 If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like proxy\&.command above), you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line\&.
154 To query the value for a given key, do
157 % git repo\-config \-\-get core\&.filemode
164 % git repo\-config core\&.filemode
168 or, to query a multivar:
171 % git repo\-config \-\-get proxy\&.command "for kernel\&.org$"
175 If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do:
178 % git repo\-config \-\-get\-all proxy\&.command
182 If you like to live dangerous, you can replace \fIall\fR proxy\&.commands by a new one with
185 % git repo\-config \-\-replace\-all proxy\&.command ssh
189 However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, i\&.e\&. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this:
192 % git repo\-config proxy\&.command ssh '! for '
196 To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to
199 % git repo\-config section\&.key value '[!]'
