-DESCRIPTION
------------
-You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is
-actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be
-escaped.
-
-Multiple lines can be added to an option by using the '--add' option.
-If you want to update or 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
-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.
-
-This command will fail if:
-
-. 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,
-. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match, or
-. you use --global option without $HOME being properly set.
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
---replace-all::
- Default behavior is to replace at most one line. This replaces
- all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex).
-
---add::
- Adds a new line to the option without altering any existing
- values. This is the same as providing '^$' as the value_regex.
-
---get::
- Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex
- matching the value). Returns error code 1 if the key was not
- found and error code 2 if multiple key values were found.
-
---get-all::
- 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.
-
---global::
- Use global ~/.gitconfig file rather than the repository .git/config.
-
---unset::
- Remove the line matching the key from config file.
---unset-all::
- Remove all matching lines from config file.
-
--l, --list::
- List all variables set in config file.
-
---bool::
- git-repo-config will ensure that the output is "true" or "false"
-
---int::
- git-repo-config will ensure that the output is a simple
- decimal number. An optional value suffix of 'k', 'm', or 'g'
- in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied
- by 1024, 1048576, or 1073741824 prior to output.
-
-
-ENVIRONMENT
+DESCRIPTION
-----------
-GIT_CONFIG::
- Take the configuration from the given file instead of .git/config.
- Using the "--global" option forces this to ~/.gitconfig.
-
-GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL::
- Currently the same as $GIT_CONFIG; when Git will support global
- configuration files, this will cause it to take the configuration
- from the global configuration file in addition to the given file.
-
-
-EXAMPLE
--------
-
-Given a .git/config like this:
-
- #
- # This is the config file, and
- # a '#' or ';' character indicates
- # a comment
- #
-
- ; core variables
- [core]
- ; Don't trust file modes
- filemode = false
-
- ; Our diff algorithm
- [diff]
- external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
- renames = true
-
- ; Proxy settings
- [core]
- gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/"
- gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org
- gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://"
- gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest
-
-you can set the filemode to true with
-
-------------
-% git repo-config core.filemode true
-------------
-
-The hypothetical proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern
-what URL they apply to. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org
-to "ssh".
-
-------------
-% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'
-------------
-
-This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced.
-
-To delete the entry for renames, do
-
-------------
-% 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
-
-------------
-% git repo-config --get core.filemode
-------------
-
-or
-
-------------
-% git repo-config core.filemode
-------------
-
-or, to query a multivar:
-
-------------
-% 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 core.gitproxy
-------------
-
-If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a
-new one with
-
-------------
-% 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 core.gitproxy ssh '! for '
-------------
-
-To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to
-
-------------
-% git repo-config section.key value '[!]'
-------------
-
-To add a new proxy, without altering any of the existing ones, use
-
-------------
-% git repo-config core.gitproxy '"proxy" for example.com'
