12 | 'git-repo-config' [type] name [value [value_regex]] |
13 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --replace-all name [value [value_regex]] | |
14 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --get name [value_regex] | |
15 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --get-all name [value_regex] | |

19 | DESCRIPTION | |
20 | ----------- | |
4ddba79d JS |
21 | You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is |
22 | actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be | |
23 | escaped. | |
2d2465c0 | 24 | |
89438677 | 25 | If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you |
f98d863d | 26 | should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines |
89438677 | 27 | *not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front |
f98d863d | 28 | (see EXAMPLES). |
2d2465c0 | 29 | |
7162dff3 PB |
30 | The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make |
31 | 'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and | |
32 | convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, | |
33 | a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, | |
34 | no checks or transformations are performed on the value. | |
35 | ||
2d2465c0 JS |
36 | This command will fail if |
37 | ||
38 | . .git/config is invalid, | |
39 | . .git/config can not be written to, | |
40 | . no section was provided, | |
41 | . the section or key is invalid, | |
42 | . you try to unset an option which does not exist, or | |
43 | . you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. | |
44 | ||
45 | ||
46 | OPTIONS | |
47 | ------- | |
48 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
49 | --replace-all:: |
50 | Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces | |
51 | all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex) | |
52 | ||
53 | --get:: | |
54 | Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex | |
55 | matching the value). | |
56 | ||
57 | --get-all:: | |
58 | Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key | |
59 | is not exactly one. | |
60 | ||
2d2465c0 | 61 | --unset:: |
4ddba79d JS |
62 | Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. |
63 | ||
64 | --unset-all:: | |
65 | Remove all matching lines from .git/config. | |
2d2465c0 JS |

68 | EXAMPLE | |
69 | ------- | |
70 | ||
71 | Given a .git/config like this: | |
72 | ||
73 | # | |
74 | # This is the config file, and | |
75 | # a '#' or ';' character indicates | |
76 | # a comment | |
77 | # | |
78 | ||
79 | ; core variables | |
80 | [core] | |
81 | ; Don't trust file modes | |
82 | filemode = false | |
83 | ||
84 | ; Our diff algorithm | |
85 | [diff] | |
86 | external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" | |
87 | renames = true | |
88 | ||
89 | ; Proxy settings | |
1ab661dd PB |
90 | [core] |
91 | gitproxy="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" | |
92 | gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org | |
93 | gitproxy="myprotocol-command" for "my://" | |
94 | gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest | |
2d2465c0 JS |
95 | |
96 | you can set the filemode to true with | |
97 | ||
98 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 99 | % git repo-config core.filemode true |
2d2465c0 JS |
100 | ------------ |
101 | ||
102 | The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern | |
103 | to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org | |
104 | to "ssh". | |
105 | ||
106 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 107 | % git repo-config core.gitproxy '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' |
2d2465c0 JS |
108 | ------------ |
109 | ||
110 | This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. | |
111 | ||
112 | To delete the entry for renames, do | |
113 | ||
114 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 115 | % git repo-config --unset diff.renames |
2d2465c0 JS |
116 | ------------ |
117 | ||
1ab661dd | 118 | If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), |
4ddba79d JS |
119 | you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. |
120 | ||
121 | To query the value for a given key, do | |
2d2465c0 JS |
122 | |
123 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 124 | % git repo-config --get core.filemode |
2d2465c0 JS |
125 | ------------ |
126 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
127 | or |
128 | ||
129 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 130 | % git repo-config core.filemode |
4ddba79d JS |
131 | ------------ |
132 | ||
133 | or, to query a multivar: | |
134 | ||
135 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 136 | % git repo-config --get core.gitproxy "for kernel.org$" |
4ddba79d JS |
137 | ------------ |
138 | ||
139 | If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: | |
140 | ||
141 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 142 | % git repo-config --get-all core.gitproxy |
4ddba79d JS |
143 | ------------ |
144 | ||
1ab661dd | 145 | If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* core.gitproxy by a |
4ddba79d JS |
146 | new one with |
147 | ||
148 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 149 | % git repo-config --replace-all core.gitproxy ssh |
4ddba79d | 150 | ------------ |
2d2465c0 | 151 | |
f98d863d JS |
152 | However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, |
153 | i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: | |
154 | ||
155 | ------------ | |
1ab661dd | 156 | % git repo-config core.gitproxy ssh '! for ' |
f98d863d JS |
157 | ------------ |
158 | ||
159 | To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to | |
160 | ||
161 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 162 | % git repo-config section.key value '[!]' |
f98d863d JS |
163 | ------------ |
