Multiple lines can be added to an option by using the `--append` option.
If you want to update or unset an option which can occur on multiple
-lines, a `value-pattern` (which is an extended regular expression,
+lines, `--value=<pattern>` (which is an extended regular expression,
unless the `--fixed-value` option is given) needs to be given. Only the
existing values that match the pattern are updated or unset. If
you want to handle the lines that do *not* match the pattern, just
--replace-all::
Default behavior is to replace at most one line. This replaces
- all lines matching the key (and optionally the `value-pattern`).
+ all lines matching the key (and optionally `--value=<pattern>`).
--append::
Adds a new line to the option without altering any existing
Use `--no-value` to unset _<pattern>_.
--fixed-value::
- When used with the `value-pattern` argument, treat `value-pattern` as
+ When used with `--value=<pattern>`, treat _<pattern>_ as
an exact string instead of a regular expression. This will restrict
the name/value pairs that are matched to only those where the value
- is exactly equal to the `value-pattern`.

--type <type>::
'git config' will ensure that any input or output is valid under the given
