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 26lines, a POSIX regexp `value_regex` needs to be given. Only the 27existing values that match the regexp are updated or unset. If 28you want to handle the lines that do *not* match the regex, just 29prepend a single exclamation mark in front (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 69EXAMPLE 70------- 71 72Given a .git/config like this: 73 74 # 75 # This is the config file, and 76 # a '#' or ';' character indicates 77 # a comment 78 # 79 80 ; core variables 81 [core] 82 ; Don't trust file modes 83 filemode = false 84 85 ; Our diff algorithm 86 [diff] 87 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" 88 renames = true 89 90 ; Proxy settings 91 [core] 92 gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" 93 gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org 94 gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://" 95 gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest 96 97you can set the filemode to true with 98 99------------ 100% git repo-config core.filemode true 101------------ 102 103The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern 104to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org 105to "ssh". 106 107------------ 108% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' 109------------ 110 111This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. 112 113To delete the entry for renames, do 114 115------------ 116% git repo-config --unset diff.renames 117------------ 118 119If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), 120you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. 121 122To query the value for a given key, do 123 124------------ 125% git repo-config --get core.filemode 126------------ 127 128or 129 130------------ 131% git repo-config core.filemode 132------------ 133 134or, to query a multivar: 135 136------------ 137% git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" 138------------ 139 140If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: 141 142------------ 143% git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy 144------------ 145 146If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a 147new one with 148 149------------ 150% git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh 151------------ 152 153However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, 154i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: 155 156------------ 157% git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' 158------------ 159 160To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to 161 162------------ 163% git repo-config section.key value '[!]' 164------------ 165 166 167include::config.txt[] 168 169 170Author 171------ 172Written by Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> 173 174Documentation 175-------------- 176Documentation by Johannes Schindelin, Petr Baudis and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 177 178GIT 179--- 180Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 181
