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.
