1git-repo-config(1) 2================== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-repo-config - Get and set options in .git/config 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git-repo-config' [type] name [value [value_regex]] 13'git-repo-config' [type] --replace-all name [value [value_regex]] 14'git-repo-config' [type] --get name [value_regex] 15'git-repo-config' [type] --get-all name [value_regex] 16'git-repo-config' [type] --unset name [value_regex] 17'git-repo-config' [type] --unset-all name [value_regex] 18'git-repo-config' -l | --list 19 20DESCRIPTION 21----------- 22You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is 23actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be 24escaped. 25 26If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you 27should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines 28*not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front 29(see EXAMPLES). 30 31The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make 32'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and 33convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, 34a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, 35no checks or transformations are performed on the value. 36 37This command will fail if: 38 39. The .git/config file is invalid, 40. Can not write to .git/config, 41. no section was provided, 42. the section or key is invalid, 43. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or 44. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. 45 46 47OPTIONS 48------- 49 50--replace-all:: 51 Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces 52 all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex). 53 54--get:: 55 Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex 56 matching the value). 57 58--get-all:: 59 Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key 60 is not exactly one. 61 62--get-regexp:: 63 Like --get-all, but interprets the name as a regular expression. 64 65--unset:: 66 Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. 67 68--unset-all:: 69 Remove all matching lines from .git/config. 70 71-l, --list:: 72 List all variables set in .git/config. 73 74 75EXAMPLE 76------- 77 78Given a .git/config like this: 79 80 # 81 # This is the config file, and 82 # a '#' or ';' character indicates 83 # a comment 84 # 85 86 ; core variables 87 [core] 88 ; Don't trust file modes 89 filemode = false 90 91 ; Our diff algorithm 92 [diff] 93 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" 94 renames = true 95 96 ; Proxy settings 97 [core] 98 gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" 99 gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org 100 gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://" 101 gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest 102 103you can set the filemode to true with 104 105------------ 106% git repo-config core.filemode true 107------------ 108 109The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern 110to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org 111to "ssh". 112 113------------ 114% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' 115------------ 116 117This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. 118 119To delete the entry for renames, do 120 121------------ 122% git repo-config --unset diff.renames 123------------ 124 125If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), 126you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. 127 128To query the value for a given key, do 129 130------------ 131% git repo-config --get core.filemode 132------------ 133 134or 135 136------------ 137% git repo-config core.filemode 138------------ 139 140or, to query a multivar: 141 142------------ 143% git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" 144------------ 145 146If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: 147 148------------ 149% git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy 150------------ 151 152If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a 153new one with 154 155------------ 156% git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh 157------------ 158 159However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, 160i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: 161 162------------ 163% git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' 164------------ 165 166To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to 167 168------------ 169% git repo-config section.key value '[!]' 170------------ 171 172 173include::config.txt[] 174 175 176Author 177------ 178Written by Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> 179 180Documentation 181-------------- 182Documentation by Johannes Schindelin, Petr Baudis and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 183 184GIT 185--- 186Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 187
