git-repo-config(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-repo-config - Get and set options in .git/config
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-repo-config' [type] name [value [value_regex]]
'git-repo-config' [type] --replace-all name [value [value_regex]]
'git-repo-config' [type] --get name [value_regex]
'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]
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.
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
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
. .git/config is invalid,
. .git/config can not be written to,
. no section was provided,
. the section or key is invalid,
. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or
. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match.
OPTIONS
-------
--replace-all::
Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces
all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex)
--get::
Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex
matching the value).
--get-all::
Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key
is not exactly one.
--unset::
Remove the line matching the key from .git/config.
--unset-all::
Remove all matching lines from .git/config.
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 hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern
to what URL they apply. 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 '[!]'
------------
include::config.txt[]
