1git-config-set(1) 2=============== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-config-set - Set options in .git/config. 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-config-set' ( name [value [value_regex]] | --unset name [value_regex] ) 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15You can set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is actually 16the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be escaped. 17 18If you want to set/unset an option which can occor on multiple lines, you 19should provide a POSIX regex for the value. 20 21This command will fail if 22 23. .git/config is invalid, 24. .git/config can not be written to, 25. no section was provided, 26. the section or key is invalid, 27. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or 28. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. 29 30 31OPTIONS 32------- 33 34--unset:: 35 Remove the given option from .git/config 36 37 38EXAMPLE 39------- 40 41Given a .git/config like this: 42 43 # 44 # This is the config file, and 45 # a '#' or ';' character indicates 46 # a comment 47 # 48 49 ; core variables 50 [core] 51 ; Don't trust file modes 52 filemode = false 53 54 ; Our diff algorithm 55 [diff] 56 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" 57 renames = true 58 59 ; Proxy settings 60 [proxy] 61 command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" 62 command="proxy-command" for kernel.org 63 command="myprotocol-command" for "my://" 64 65you can set the filemode to true with 66 67------------ 68% git config-set core.filemode true 69------------ 70 71The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern 72to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org 73to "ssh". 74 75------------ 76% git config-set proxy.command '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' 77------------ 78 79This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. 80 81To delete the entry for renames, do 82 83------------ 84% git config-set --unset diff.renames 85------------ 86 87or just 88 89------------ 90% git config-set diff.renames 91------------ 92 93If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like proxy.command above), 94you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. 95 96 97Author 98------ 99Written by Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> 100 101Documentation 102-------------- 103Documentation by Johannes Schindelin. 104 105GIT 106--- 107Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 108
