10 * The config API gives callers a way to access Git configuration files
11 * (and files which have the same syntax).
13 * General Usage
14 * -------------
16 * Config files are parsed linearly, and each variable found is passed to a
17 * caller-provided callback function. The callback function is responsible
18 * for any actions to be taken on the config option, and is free to ignore
19 * some options. It is not uncommon for the configuration to be parsed
20 * several times during the run of a Git program, with different callbacks
21 * picking out different variables useful to themselves.

200 * that Git knows about, using the normal precedence rules. To do this,
201 * call `git_config` with a callback function and void data pointer.
203 * `git_config` will read all config sources in order of increasing
204 * priority. Thus a callback should typically overwrite previously-seen
205 * entries with new ones (e.g., if both the user-wide `~/.gitconfig` and
206 * repo-specific `.git/config` contain `color.ui`, the config machinery
207 * will first feed the user-wide one to the callback, and then the

225 * configuration, rather than looking in the usual files. See `struct
226 * git_config_source` in `config.h` for details. Regular `git_config` defaults
227 * to `NULL`.
229 * - `opts`
230 * Specify options to adjust the behavior of parsing config files. See `struct
231 * config_options` in `config.h` for details. As an example: regular `git_config`
232 * sets `opts.respect_includes` to `1` by default.

277 int git_config_bool(const char *, const char *);

412 * Custom Configsets

417 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,

422 * int b;
423 * //we add config files to the config_set
424 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");

427 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
