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 | |
89438677 | 26 | If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you |
f98d863d | 27 | should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines |
89438677 | 28 | *not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front |
f98d863d | 29 | (see EXAMPLES). |
2d2465c0 | 30 | |
7162dff3 PB |
31 | The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make |
32 | 'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and | |
33 | convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, | |
34 | a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, | |
35 | no checks or transformations are performed on the value. | |
36 | ||
2b5f3ed3 | 37 | This command will fail if: |
2d2465c0 | 38 | |
2b5f3ed3 SE |
39 | . The .git/config file is invalid, |
40 | . Can not write to .git/config, | |
2d2465c0 JS |
41 | . no section was provided, |
42 | . the section or key is invalid, | |
43 | . you try to unset an option which does not exist, or | |
44 | . you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. | |
45 | ||
46 | ||
47 | OPTIONS | |
48 | ------- | |
49 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
50 | --replace-all:: |
51 | Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces | |
2fa9a0fb | 52 | all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex). |
4ddba79d JS |
53 | |
54 | --get:: | |
55 | Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex | |
56 | matching the value). | |
57 | ||
58 | --get-all:: | |
59 | Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key | |
60 | is not exactly one. | |
61 | ||
2fa9a0fb JS |
62 | --get-regexp:: |
63 | Like --get-all, but interprets the name as a regular expression. | |
64 | ||
2d2465c0 | 65 | --unset:: |
4ddba79d JS |
66 | Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. |
67 | ||
68 | --unset-all:: | |
69 | Remove all matching lines from .git/config. | |
2d2465c0 | 70 | |
de791f15 PB |
71 | -l, --list:: |
72 | List all variables set in .git/config. | |
73 | ||
2d2465c0 JS |
74 | |
75 | EXAMPLE | |
76 | ------- | |
77 | ||
78 | Given a .git/config like this: | |
79 | ||
80 | # | |
81 | # This is the config file, and | |
82 | # a '#' or ';' character indicates | |
83 | # a comment | |
84 | # | |
85 | ||
86 | ; core variables | |
87 | [core] | |
88 | ; Don't trust file modes | |
89 | filemode = false | |
90 | ||
91 | ; Our diff algorithm | |
92 | [diff] | |
93 | external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" | |
94 | renames = true | |
95 | ||
96 | ; Proxy settings | |
1ab661dd PB |
97 | [core] |
98 | gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" | |
99 | gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org | |
100 | gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://" | |
101 | gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest | |
2d2465c0 JS |
102 | |
103 | you can set the filemode to true with | |
104 | ||
105 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 106 | % git repo-config core.filemode true |
2d2465c0 JS |
107 | ------------ |
108 | ||
109 | The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern | |
110 | to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org | |
111 | to "ssh". | |
112 | ||
113 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 114 | % git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' |
2d2465c0 JS |
115 | ------------ |
116 | ||
117 | This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. | |
118 | ||
119 | To delete the entry for renames, do | |
120 | ||
121 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 122 | % git repo-config --unset diff.renames |
2d2465c0 JS |
123 | ------------ |
124 | ||
1ab661dd | 125 | If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), |
4ddba79d JS |
126 | you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. |
127 | ||
128 | To query the value for a given key, do | |
2d2465c0 JS |
129 | |
130 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 131 | % git repo-config --get core.filemode |
2d2465c0 JS |
132 | ------------ |
133 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
134 | or |
135 | ||
136 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 137 | % git repo-config core.filemode |
4ddba79d JS |
138 | ------------ |
139 | ||
140 | or, to query a multivar: | |
141 | ||
142 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 143 | % git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" |
4ddba79d JS |
144 | ------------ |
145 | ||
146 | If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: | |
147 | ||
148 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 149 | % git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy |
4ddba79d JS |
150 | ------------ |
151 | ||
1ab661dd | 152 | If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a |
4ddba79d JS |
153 | new one with |
154 | ||
155 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 156 | % git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh |
4ddba79d | 157 | ------------ |
2d2465c0 | 158 | |
f98d863d JS |
159 | However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, |
160 | i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: | |
161 | ||
162 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 163 | % git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' |
f98d863d JS |
164 | ------------ |
165 | ||
166 | To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to | |
167 | ||
168 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 169 | % git repo-config section.key value '[!]' |
f98d863d JS |
170 | ------------ |
