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