+git-repo-config - Get and set options in .git/config
SYNOPSIS
'git-repo-config' [type] --get-all name [value_regex]
'git-repo-config' [type] --unset name [value_regex]
'git-repo-config' [type] --unset-all name [value_regex]
+'git-repo-config' -l | --list
DESCRIPTION
-----------
actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be
escaped.
-If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you
-should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines
-*not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front
-(see EXAMPLES).
+If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple
+lines, a POSIX regexp `value_regex` needs to be given. Only the
+existing values that match the regexp are updated or unset. If
+you want to handle the lines that do *not* match the regex, just
+prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES).
The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make
'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and
a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed,
no checks or transformations are performed on the value.
-This command will fail if
+This command will fail if:
-. .git/config is invalid,
-. .git/config can not be written to,
+. The .git/config file is invalid,
+. Can not write to .git/config,
. no section was provided,
. the section or key is invalid,
. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or
--replace-all::
Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces
- all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex)
+ all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex).
--get::
Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex
Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key
is not exactly one.
+--get-regexp::
+ Like --get-all, but interprets the name as a regular expression.
+
--unset::
Remove the line matching the key from .git/config.
--unset-all::
Remove all matching lines from .git/config.
+-l, --list::
+ List all variables set in .git/config.
+

; Proxy settings
- [proxy]
- command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/"
- command="proxy-command" for kernel.org
- command="myprotocol-command" for "my://"
- command=default-proxy ; for all the rest
+ [core]
+ gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/"
+ gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org
+ gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://"
+ gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest
you can set the filemode to true with
to "ssh".
------------
-% git repo-config proxy.command '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'
+% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'
------------
This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced.
% git repo-config --unset diff.renames

+If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above),
you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line.
To query the value for a given key, do
or, to query a multivar:
------------
-% git repo-config --get proxy.command "for kernel.org$"
+% git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$"
------------
If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do:
------------
-% git repo-config --get-all proxy.command
+% git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy
------------
-If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* proxy.commands by a
+If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a
new one with
------------
-% git repo-config --replace-all proxy.command ssh
+% git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh
------------
However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy,
i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this:
------------
-% git repo-config proxy.command ssh '! for '
+% git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for '
------------
To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to
