1git-repo-config(1) 2================== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-repo-config - Get and set options in .git/config. 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-repo-config' [type] name [value [value_regex]] 12'git-repo-config' [type] --replace-all name [value [value_regex]] 13'git-repo-config' [type] --get name [value_regex] 14'git-repo-config' [type] --get-all name [value_regex] 15'git-repo-config' [type] --unset name [value_regex] 16'git-repo-config' [type] --unset-all name [value_regex] 17 18DESCRIPTION 19----------- 20You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is 21actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be 22escaped. 23 24If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you 25should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines 26*not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front 27(see EXAMPLES). 28 29The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make 30'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and 31convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, 32a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, 33no checks or transformations are performed on the value. 34 35This command will fail if 36 37. .git/config is invalid, 38. .git/config can not be written to, 39. no section was provided, 40. the section or key is invalid, 41. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or 42. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. 43 44 45OPTIONS 46------- 47 48--replace-all:: 49 Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces 50 all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex) 51 52--get:: 53 Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex 54 matching the value). 55 56--get-all:: 57 Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key 58 is not exactly one. 59 60--unset:: 61 Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. 62 63--unset-all:: 64 Remove all matching lines from .git/config. 65 66 67EXAMPLE 68------- 69 70Given a .git/config like this: 71 72 # 73 # This is the config file, and 74 # a '#' or ';' character indicates 75 # a comment 76 # 77 78 ; core variables 79 [core] 80 ; Don't trust file modes 81 filemode = false 82 83 ; Our diff algorithm 84 [diff] 85 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" 86 renames = true 87 88 ; Proxy settings 89 [proxy] 90 command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" 91 command="proxy-command" for kernel.org 92 command="myprotocol-command" for "my://" 93 command=default-proxy ; for all the rest 94 95you can set the filemode to true with 96 97------------ 98% git repo-config core.filemode true 99------------ 100 101The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern 102to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org 103to "ssh". 104 105------------ 106% git repo-config proxy.command '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' 107------------ 108 109This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. 110 111To delete the entry for renames, do 112 113------------ 114% git repo-config --unset diff.renames 115------------ 116 117If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like proxy.command above), 118you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. 119 120To query the value for a given key, do 121 122------------ 123% git repo-config --get core.filemode 124------------ 125 126or 127 128------------ 129% git repo-config core.filemode 130------------ 131 132or, to query a multivar: 133 134------------ 135% git repo-config --get proxy.command "for kernel.org$" 136------------ 137 138If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: 139 140------------ 141% git repo-config --get-all proxy.command 142------------ 143 144If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* proxy.commands by a 145new one with 146 147------------ 148% git repo-config --replace-all proxy.command ssh 149------------ 150 151However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, 152i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: 153 154------------ 155% git repo-config proxy.command ssh '! for ' 156------------ 157 158To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to 159 160------------ 161% git repo-config section.key value '[!]' 162------------ 163 164 165Author 166------ 167Written by Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> 168 169Documentation 170-------------- 171Documentation by Johannes Schindelin. 172 173GIT 174--- 175Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 176
