6 git-repo-config - Get and set options in .git/config.
11 'git-repo-config' name [value [value_regex]]
12 'git-repo-config' --replace-all name [value [value_regex]]
13 'git-repo-config' --get name [value_regex]
14 'git-repo-config' --get-all name [value_regex]
15 'git-repo-config' --unset name [value_regex]
16 'git-repo-config' --unset-all name [value_regex]
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
24 If you want to set/unset an option which can occor on multiple lines, you
25 should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines
26 *not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exlamation mark in front
29 This command will fail if
31 . .git/config is invalid,
32 . .git/config can not be written to,
33 . no section was provided,
34 . the section or key is invalid,
35 . you try to unset an option which does not exist, or
36 . you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match.
43 Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces
44 all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex)
47 Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex
51 Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key
55 Remove the line matching the key from .git/config.
58 Remove all matching lines from .git/config.
64 Given a .git/config like this:
67 # This is the config file, and
68 # a '#' or ';' character indicates
74 ; Don't trust file modes
79 external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
84 command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/"
85 command="proxy-command" for kernel.org
86 command="myprotocol-command" for "my://"
87 command=default-proxy ; for all the rest
89 you can set the filemode to true with
92 % git repo-config core.filemode true
95 The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern
96 to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org
100 % git repo-config proxy.command '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'
103 This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced.
105 To delete the entry for renames, do
108 % git repo-config --unset diff.renames
111 If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like proxy.command above),
112 you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line.
114 To query the value for a given key, do
117 % git repo-config --get core.filemode
123 % git repo-config core.filemode
126 or, to query a multivar:
129 % git repo-config --get proxy.command "for kernel.org$"
132 If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do:
135 % git repo-config --get-all proxy.command
138 If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* proxy.commands by a
142 % git repo-config --replace-all proxy.command ssh
145 However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy,
146 i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this:
149 % git repo-config proxy.command ssh '! for '
152 To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to
155 % git repo-config section.key value '[!]'
