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