+git-repo-config - Get and set repository or global options
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-repo-config' name [value [value_regex]]
-'git-repo-config' --replace-all name [value [value_regex]]
-'git-repo-config' --get name [value_regex]
-'git-repo-config' --get-all name [value_regex]
-'git-repo-config' --unset name [value_regex]
-'git-repo-config' --unset-all name [value_regex]
+'git-repo-config' ...

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is
-actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be
-escaped.
-
-If you want to set/unset an option which can occor on multiple lines, you
-should provide a POSIX regex for the value. If you want to handle the lines
-*not* matching the regex, just prepend a single exlamation mark in front
-(see EXAMPLES).
-
-This command will fail if
-
-. .git/config is invalid,
-. .git/config can not be written to,
-. no section was provided,
-. the section or key is invalid,
-. you try to unset an option which does not exist, or
-. you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match.
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
---replace-all::
- Default behaviour is to replace at most one line. This replaces
- all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex)
-
---get::
- Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex
- matching the value).
-
---get-all::
- Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key
- is not exactly one.
-
---unset::
- Remove the line matching the key from .git/config.
-
---unset-all::
- Remove all matching lines from .git/config.
-
-
-EXAMPLE
--------
-
-Given a .git/config like this:
-
- #
- # This is the config file, and
- # a '#' or ';' character indicates
- # a comment
- #
-
- ; core variables
- [core]
- ; Don't trust file modes
- filemode = false
-
- ; Our diff algorithm
- [diff]
- external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
- renames = true
-
- ; Proxy settings
- [proxy]
- command="ssh" for "ssh://kernel.org/"
- command="proxy-command" for kernel.org
- command="myprotocol-command" for "my://"
- command=default-proxy ; for all the rest
-
-you can set the filemode to true with
-
-------------
-% git repo-config core.filemode true
-------------
-
-The hypothetic proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern
-to what URL they apply. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org
-to "ssh".
-
-------------
-% git repo-config proxy.command '"ssh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'
-------------
-
-This makes sure that only the key/value pair for kernel.org is replaced.
-
-To delete the entry for renames, do
-
-------------
-% git repo-config --unset diff.renames
-------------
-
-If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like proxy.command above),
-you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line.
-
-To query the value for a given key, do
-
-------------
-% git repo-config --get core.filemode
-------------
-
-or
-
-------------
-% git repo-config core.filemode
-------------
-
-or, to query a multivar:
-
-------------
-% git repo-config --get proxy.command "for kernel.org$"
-------------
-
-If you want to know all the values for a multivar, do:
-
-------------
-% git repo-config --get-all proxy.command
-------------
-
-If you like to live dangerous, you can replace *all* proxy.commands by a
-new one with
-
-------------
-% git repo-config --replace-all proxy.command ssh
-------------
-
-However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy,
-i.e. the one without a "for ..." postfix, do something like this:
-
-------------
-% git repo-config proxy.command ssh '! for '
-------------
-
-To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to
-
-------------
-% git repo-config section.key value '[!]'
