284<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
285<div class="sectionbody">
286<p>You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is
287actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be
288escaped.</p>
Junio C Hamano6d891e62006-05-07 23:36:21[diff] [blame]289<p>If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple
290lines, a POSIX regexp <tt>value_regex</tt> needs to be given. Only the
291existing values that match the regexp are updated or unset. If
292you want to handle the lines that do <strong>not</strong> match the regex, just
293prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES).</p>
Junio C Hamano63636e52006-02-12 13:31:39[diff] [blame]294<p>The type specifier can be either <em>--int</em> or <em>--bool</em>, which will make
295<em>git-repo-config</em> ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and
296convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int,
297a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed,
298no checks or transformations are performed on the value.</p>
Junio C Hamano1bb569e2006-05-05 23:14:25[diff] [blame]299<p>This command will fail if:</p>

Junio C Hamano341071d2006-06-04 07:24:48[diff] [blame]341 Default behavior is to replace at most one line. This replaces
Junio C Hamano88a3a072006-05-04 08:01:43[diff] [blame]342 all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex).

Junio C Hamano07824ce2006-04-25 07:36:54[diff] [blame]494<p>If you like to live dangerous, you can replace <strong>all</strong> core.gitproxy by a

500<p>However, if you really only want to replace the line for the default proxy,

506<p>To actually match only values with an exclamation mark, you have to</p>

516and the porcelains. The variables are divided into sections, where
Junio C Hamano07824ce2006-04-25 07:36:54[diff] [blame]517in the fully qualified variable name the variable itself is the last
518dot-separated segment and the section name is everything before the last
519dot. The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric
520characters are allowed. Some variables may appear multiple times.</p>
521<p>The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly

Junio C Hamano07824ce2006-04-25 07:36:54[diff] [blame]523blank lines are ignored, lines containing strings enclosed in square
524brackets start sections and all the other lines are recognized
525as setting variables, in the form <em>name = value</em>. If there is no equal
526sign on the line, the entire line is taken as <em>name</em> and the variable
527is recognized as boolean "true". String values may be entirely or partially
528enclosed in double quotes; some variables may require special value format.</p>

568 in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
569 on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
570 may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
571 the first match wins.
