20 | DESCRIPTION | |
21 | ----------- | |
4ddba79d JS |
22 | You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is |
23 | actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be | |
24 | escaped. | |
2d2465c0 | 25 | |
6fe31e2e JH |
26 | If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple |
27 | lines, a POSIX regexp `value_regex` needs to be given. Only the | |
28 | existing values that match the regexp are updated or unset. If | |
29 | you want to handle the lines that do *not* match the regex, just | |
30 | prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES). | |
2d2465c0 | 31 | |
7162dff3 PB |
32 | The 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 | |
34 | convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, | |
35 | a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, | |
36 | no checks or transformations are performed on the value. | |
37 | ||
2b5f3ed3 | 38 | This command will fail if: |
2d2465c0 | 39 | |
2b5f3ed3 SE |
40 | . The .git/config file is invalid, |
41 | . Can not write to .git/config, | |
2d2465c0 JS |
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 | ||
48 | OPTIONS | |
49 | ------- | |
50 | ||
4ddba79d | 51 | --replace-all:: |
abda1ef5 | 52 | Default behavior is to replace at most one line. This replaces |
2fa9a0fb | 53 | all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex). |
4ddba79d JS |
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 | ||
2fa9a0fb JS |
63 | --get-regexp:: |
64 | Like --get-all, but interprets the name as a regular expression. | |
65 | ||
2d2465c0 | 66 | --unset:: |
4ddba79d JS |
67 | Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. |
68 | ||
69 | --unset-all:: | |
70 | Remove all matching lines from .git/config. | |
2d2465c0 | 71 | |
de791f15 PB |
72 | -l, --list:: |
73 | List all variables set in .git/config. | |
74 | ||
2d2465c0 JS |
75 | |
76 | EXAMPLE | |
77 | ------- | |
78 | ||
79 | Given 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 | |
1ab661dd PB |
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 | |
2d2465c0 JS |
103 | |
104 | you can set the filemode to true with | |
105 | ||
106 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 107 | % git repo-config core.filemode true |
2d2465c0 JS |
108 | ------------ |
109 | ||
110 | The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern | |
111 | to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org | |
112 | to "ssh". | |
113 | ||
114 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 115 | % git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' |
2d2465c0 JS |
116 | ------------ |
117 | ||
118 | This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. | |
119 | ||
120 | To delete the entry for renames, do | |
121 | ||
122 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 123 | % git repo-config --unset diff.renames |
2d2465c0 JS |
124 | ------------ |
125 | ||
1ab661dd | 126 | If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), |
4ddba79d JS |
127 | you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. |
128 | ||
129 | To query the value for a given key, do | |
2d2465c0 JS |
130 | |
131 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 132 | % git repo-config --get core.filemode |
2d2465c0 JS |
133 | ------------ |
134 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
135 | or |
136 | ||
137 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 138 | % git repo-config core.filemode |
4ddba79d JS |
139 | ------------ |
140 | ||
141 | or, to query a multivar: | |
142 | ||
143 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 144 | % git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" |
4ddba79d JS |
145 | ------------ |
146 | ||
147 | If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: | |
148 | ||
149 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 150 | % git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy |
4ddba79d JS |
151 | ------------ |
152 | ||
1ab661dd | 153 | If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a |
4ddba79d JS |
154 | new one with |
155 | ||
156 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 157 | % git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh |
4ddba79d | 158 | ------------ |
2d2465c0 | 159 | |
f98d863d JS |
160 | However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, |
161 | i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: | |
162 | ||
163 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 164 | % git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' |
f98d863d JS |
165 | ------------ |
166 | ||
167 | To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to | |
168 | ||
169 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 170 | % git repo-config section.key value '[!]' |
f98d863d JS |
171 | ------------ |
