ee72aeaf | 6 | git-repo-config - Get and set options in .git/config. |

10 | -------- | |
7162dff3 PB |
11 | 'git-repo-config' [type] name [value [value_regex]] |
12 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --replace-all name [value [value_regex]] | |
13 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --get name [value_regex] | |
14 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --get-all name [value_regex] | |
15 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --unset name [value_regex] | |
16 | 'git-repo-config' [type] --unset-all name [value_regex] | |

18 | DESCRIPTION | |
19 | ----------- | |
4ddba79d JS |
20 | You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is |
21 | actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be | |
22 | escaped. | |
2d2465c0 | 23 | |
89438677 | 24 | If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you |
f98d863d | 25 | should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines |
89438677 | 26 | *not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front |
f98d863d | 27 | (see EXAMPLES). |

29 | The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make |
30 | 'git-repo-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and | |
31 | convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, | |
32 | a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, | |
33 | no checks or transformations are performed on the value. | |
34 | ||
2d2465c0 JS |
35 | This command will fail if |
36 | ||
37 | . .git/config is invalid, | |
38 | . .git/config can not be written to, | |
39 | . no section was provided, | |
40 | . the section or key is invalid, | |
41 | . you try to unset an option which does not exist, or | |
42 | . you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match. | |
43 | ||
44 | ||
45 | OPTIONS | |
46 | ------- | |
47 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
48 | --replace-all:: |
49 | Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces | |
50 | all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex) | |
51 | ||
52 | --get:: | |
53 | Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex | |
54 | matching the value). | |
55 | ||
56 | --get-all:: | |
57 | Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key | |
58 | is not exactly one. | |
59 | ||
2d2465c0 | 60 | --unset:: |
4ddba79d JS |
61 | Remove the line matching the key from .git/config. |
62 | ||
63 | --unset-all:: | |
64 | Remove all matching lines from .git/config. | |
2d2465c0 JS |

66 | ||
67 | EXAMPLE | |
68 | ------- | |
69 | ||
70 | Given a .git/config like this: | |
71 | ||
72 | # | |
73 | # This is the config file, and | |
74 | # a '#' or ';' character indicates | |
75 | # a comment | |
76 | # | |
77 | ||
78 | ; core variables | |
79 | [core] | |
80 | ; Don't trust file modes | |
81 | filemode = false | |
82 | ||
83 | ; Our diff algorithm | |
84 | [diff] | |
85 | external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" | |
86 | renames = true | |
87 | ||
88 | ; Proxy settings | |
89 | [proxy] | |
90 | command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/" | |
91 | command="proxy-command" for kernel.org | |
92 | command="myprotocol-command" for "my://" | |
f98d863d | 93 | command=default-proxy ; for all the rest |
2d2465c0 JS |
94 | |
95 | you can set the filemode to true with | |
96 | ||
97 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 98 | % git repo-config core.filemode true |
2d2465c0 JS |
99 | ------------ |
100 | ||
101 | The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern | |
102 | to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org | |
103 | to "ssh". | |
104 | ||
105 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 106 | % git repo-config proxy.command '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$' |
2d2465c0 JS |
107 | ------------ |
108 | ||
109 | This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced. | |
110 | ||
111 | To delete the entry for renames, do | |
112 | ||
113 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 114 | % git repo-config --unset diff.renames |
2d2465c0 JS |
115 | ------------ |
116 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
117 | If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like proxy.command above), |
118 | you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line. | |
119 | ||
120 | To query the value for a given key, do | |
2d2465c0 JS |
121 | |
122 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 123 | % git repo-config --get core.filemode |
2d2465c0 JS |
124 | ------------ |
125 | ||
4ddba79d JS |
126 | or |
127 | ||
128 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 129 | % git repo-config core.filemode |
4ddba79d JS |
130 | ------------ |
131 | ||
132 | or, to query a multivar: | |
133 | ||
134 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 135 | % git repo-config --get proxy.command "for kernel.org$" |
4ddba79d JS |
136 | ------------ |
137 | ||
138 | If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do: | |
139 | ||
140 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 141 | % git repo-config --get-all proxy.command |
4ddba79d JS |
142 | ------------ |
143 | ||
144 | If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* proxy.commands by a | |
145 | new one with | |
146 | ||
147 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 148 | % git repo-config --replace-all proxy.command ssh |
4ddba79d | 149 | ------------ |
2d2465c0 | 150 | |
f98d863d JS |
151 | However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy, |
152 | i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this: | |
153 | ||
154 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 155 | % git repo-config proxy.command ssh '! for ' |
f98d863d JS |
156 | ------------ |
157 | ||
158 | To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to | |
159 | ||
160 | ------------ | |
ee72aeaf | 161 | % git repo-config section.key value '[!]' |
f98d863d JS |
