DESCRIPTION
-----------
you want to handle the lines that do *not* match the regex, just
prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see also <<EXAMPLES>>).
-The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make
+The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', to make
'git-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and
convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int,
-a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed,
-no checks or transformations are performed on the value.
+a "true" or "false" string for bool), or '--path', which does some
+path expansion (see '--path' below). If no type specifier is passed, no
+checks or transformations are performed on the value.
The file-option can be one of '--system', '--global' or '--file'
which specify where the values will be read from or written to.
--add::
Adds a new line to the option without altering any existing
- values. This is the same as providing '^$' as the value_regex.

--get::
Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex
'git-config' will ensure that the output matches the format of
either --bool or --int, as described above.
+--path::
+ 'git-config' will expand leading '{tilde}' to the value of
+ '$HOME', and '{tilde}user' to the home directory for the
+ specified user. This option has no effect when setting the
+ value (but you can use 'git config bla {tilde}/' from the
+ command line to let your shell do the expansion).

-z::
--null::
For all options that output values and/or keys, always
When the color setting for `name` is undefined, the command uses
`color.ui` as fallback.
---get-color name default::
+--get-color name [default]::
Find the color configured for `name` (e.g. `color.diff.new`) and
output it as the ANSI color escape sequence to the standard
output. The optional `default` parameter is used instead, if
there is no color configured for `name`.
+-e::
+--edit::
+ Opens an editor to modify the specified config file; either
+ '--system', '--global', or repository (default).
