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 27lines, a POSIX regexp `value_regex` needs to be given. Only the 28existing values that match the regexp are updated or unset. If 29you want to handle the lines that do *not* match the regex, just 30prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES). 31 32The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make 33'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and 34convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, 35a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, 36no checks or transformations are performed on the value. 37 38This command will fail if: 39 40. The .git/config file is invalid, 41. Can not write to .git/config, 42. no section was provided, 43. the section or key is invalid, 44. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or 45. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. 46 47 48OPTIONS 49------- 50 51--replace-all:: 52 Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces 53 all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex). 54 55--get:: 56 Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex 57 matching the value). 58 59--get-all:: 60 Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key 61 is not exactly one. 62 63--get-regexp:: 64 Like --get-all, but interprets the name as a regular expression. 65 66--unset:: 67 Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. 68 69--unset-all:: 70 Remove all matching lines from .git/config. 71 72-l, --list:: 73 List all variables set in .git/config. 74 75 76EXAMPLE 77------- 78 79Given a .git/config like this: 80 81 # 82 # This is the config file, and 83 # a '#' or ';' character indicates 84 # a comment 85 # 86 87 ; core variables 88 [core] 89 ; Don't trust file modes 90 filemode = false 91 92 ; Our diff algorithm 93 [diff] 94 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" 95 renames = true 96 97 ; Proxy settings 98 [core] 99 gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" 100 gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org 101 gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://" 102 gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest 103 104you can set the filemode to true with 105 106------------ 107% git repo-config core.filemode true 108------------ 109 110The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern 111to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org 112to "ssh". 113 114------------ 115% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' 116------------ 117 118This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. 119 120To delete the entry for renames, do 121 122------------ 123% git repo-config --unset diff.renames 124------------ 125 126If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), 127you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. 128 129To query the value for a given key, do 130 131------------ 132% git repo-config --get core.filemode 133------------ 134 135or 136 137------------ 138% git repo-config core.filemode 139------------ 140 141or, to query a multivar: 142 143------------ 144% git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" 145------------ 146 147If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: 148 149------------ 150% git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy 151------------ 152 153If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a 154new one with 155 156------------ 157% git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh 158------------ 159 160However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, 161i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: 162 163------------ 164% git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' 165------------ 166 167To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to 168 169------------ 170% git repo-config section.key value '[!]' 171------------ 172 173 174include::config.txt[] 175 176 177Author 178------ 179Written by Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> 180 181Documentation 182-------------- 183Documentation by Johannes Schindelin, Petr Baudis and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 184 185GIT 186--- 187Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 188
