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. .git/config is invalid, 40. .git/config can not be written to, 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--unset:: 63 Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. 64 65--unset-all:: 66 Remove all matching lines from .git/config. 67 68-l, --list:: 69 List all variables set in .git/config. 70 71 72EXAMPLE 73------- 74 75Given a .git/config like this: 76 77 # 78 # This is the config file, and 79 # a '#' or ';' character indicates 80 # a comment 81 # 82 83 ; core variables 84 [core] 85 ; Don't trust file modes 86 filemode = false 87 88 ; Our diff algorithm 89 [diff] 90 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" 91 renames = true 92 93 ; Proxy settings 94 [core] 95 gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" 96 gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org 97 gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://" 98 gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest 99 100you can set the filemode to true with 101 102------------ 103% git repo-config core.filemode true 104------------ 105 106The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern 107to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org 108to "ssh". 109 110------------ 111% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' 112------------ 113 114This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. 115 116To delete the entry for renames, do 117 118------------ 119% git repo-config --unset diff.renames 120------------ 121 122If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), 123you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. 124 125To query the value for a given key, do 126 127------------ 128% git repo-config --get core.filemode 129------------ 130 131or 132 133------------ 134% git repo-config core.filemode 135------------ 136 137or, to query a multivar: 138 139------------ 140% git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" 141------------ 142 143If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: 144 145------------ 146% git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy 147------------ 148 149If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a 150new one with 151 152------------ 153% git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh 154------------ 155 156However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, 157i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: 158 159------------ 160% git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' 161------------ 162 163To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to 164 165------------ 166% git repo-config section.key value '[!]' 167------------ 168 169 170include::config.txt[] 171 172 173Author 174------ 175Written by Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> 176 177Documentation 178-------------- 179Documentation by Johannes Schindelin, Petr Baudis and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 180 181GIT 182--- 183Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 184
