| 276 | <div class="content"><em>git-config</em> [--global] [type] name [value [value_regex]] |

| 284 | </div> |
| 285 | <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| 286 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 287 | <p>You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is |
| 288 | actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be |
| 289 | escaped.</p> |
| 290 | <p>Multiple lines can be added to an option by using the <em>--add</em> option. |
| 291 | If you want to update or unset an option which can occur on multiple |
| 292 | lines, a POSIX regexp <tt>value_regex</tt> needs to be given. Only the |
| 293 | existing values that match the regexp are updated or unset. If |
| 294 | you want to handle the lines that do <strong>not</strong> match the regex, just |
| 295 | prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES).</p> |
| 296 | <p>The type specifier can be either <em>--int</em> or <em>--bool</em>, which will make |
| 297 | <em>git-config</em> ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and |
| 298 | convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, |
| 299 | a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed, |
| 300 | no checks or transformations are performed on the value.</p> |
| 301 | <p>This command will fail if:</p> |
| 302 | <ol> |
| 303 | <li> |
| 304 | <p> |
| 305 | The .git/config file is invalid, |
| 306 | </p> |
| 307 | </li> |
| 308 | <li> |
| 309 | <p> |
| 310 | Can not write to .git/config, |
| 311 | </p> |
| 312 | </li> |
| 313 | <li> |
| 314 | <p> |
| 315 | no section was provided, |
| 316 | </p> |
| 317 | </li> |
| 318 | <li> |
| 319 | <p> |
| 320 | the section or key is invalid, |
| 321 | </p> |
| 322 | </li> |
| 323 | <li> |
| 324 | <p> |
| 325 | you try to unset an option which does not exist, |
| 326 | </p> |
| 327 | </li> |
| 328 | <li> |
| 329 | <p> |
| 330 | you try to unset/set an option for which multiple lines match, or |
| 331 | </p> |
| 332 | </li> |
| 333 | <li> |
| 334 | <p> |
| 335 | you use --global option without $HOME being properly set. |
| 336 | </p> |
| 337 | </li> |
| 338 | </ol> |
| 339 | </div> |
| 340 | <h2>OPTIONS</h2> |
| 341 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 342 | <dl> |
| 343 | <dt> |
| 344 | --replace-all |
| 345 | </dt> |
| 346 | <dd> |
| 347 | <p> |
| 348 | Default behavior is to replace at most one line. This replaces |
| 349 | all lines matching the key (and optionally the value_regex). |
| 350 | </p> |
| 351 | </dd> |
| 352 | <dt> |
| 353 | --add |
| 354 | </dt> |
| 355 | <dd> |
| 356 | <p> |
| 357 | Adds a new line to the option without altering any existing |
| 358 | values. This is the same as providing <em>^$</em> as the value_regex. |
| 359 | </p> |
| 360 | </dd> |
| 361 | <dt> |
| 362 | --get |
| 363 | </dt> |
| 364 | <dd> |
| 365 | <p> |
| 366 | Get the value for a given key (optionally filtered by a regex |
| 367 | matching the value). Returns error code 1 if the key was not |
| 368 | found and error code 2 if multiple key values were found. |
| 369 | </p> |
| 370 | </dd> |
| 371 | <dt> |
| 372 | --get-all |
| 373 | </dt> |
| 374 | <dd> |
| 375 | <p> |
| 376 | Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key |
| 377 | is not exactly one. |
| 378 | </p> |
| 379 | </dd> |
| 380 | <dt> |
| 381 | --get-regexp |
| 382 | </dt> |
| 383 | <dd> |
| 384 | <p> |
| 385 | Like --get-all, but interprets the name as a regular expression. |
| 386 | </p> |
| 387 | </dd> |
| 388 | <dt> |
| 389 | --global |
| 390 | </dt> |
| 391 | <dd> |
| 392 | <p> |
| 393 | Use global ~/.gitconfig file rather than the repository .git/config. |
| 394 | </p> |
| 395 | </dd> |
| 396 | <dt> |
| 397 | --unset |
| 398 | </dt> |
| 399 | <dd> |
| 400 | <p> |
| 401 | Remove the line matching the key from config file. |
| 402 | </p> |
| 403 | </dd> |
| 404 | <dt> |
| 405 | --unset-all |
| 406 | </dt> |
| 407 | <dd> |
| 408 | <p> |
| 409 | Remove all matching lines from config file. |
| 410 | </p> |
| 411 | </dd> |
| 412 | <dt> |
| 413 | -l, --list |
| 414 | </dt> |
| 415 | <dd> |
| 416 | <p> |
| 417 | List all variables set in config file. |
| 418 | </p> |
| 419 | </dd> |
| 420 | <dt> |
| 421 | --bool |
| 422 | </dt> |
| 423 | <dd> |
| 424 | <p> |
| 425 | git-config will ensure that the output is "true" or "false" |
| 426 | </p> |
| 427 | </dd> |
| 428 | <dt> |
| 429 | --int |
| 430 | </dt> |
| 431 | <dd> |
| 432 | <p> |
| 433 | git-config will ensure that the output is a simple |
| 434 | decimal number. An optional value suffix of <em>k</em>, <em>m</em>, or <em>g</em> |
| 435 | in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied |
| 436 | by 1024, 1048576, or 1073741824 prior to output. |
| 437 | </p> |
| 438 | </dd> |

| 440 | </div> |
| 441 | <h2>ENVIRONMENT</h2> |
| 442 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 443 | <dl> |
| 444 | <dt> |
| 445 | GIT_CONFIG |
| 446 | </dt> |
| 447 | <dd> |
| 448 | <p> |
| 449 | Take the configuration from the given file instead of .git/config. |
| 450 | Using the "--global" option forces this to ~/.gitconfig. |
| 451 | </p> |
| 452 | </dd> |
| 453 | <dt> |
| 454 | GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL |
| 455 | </dt> |
| 456 | <dd> |
| 457 | <p> |
| 458 | Currently the same as $GIT_CONFIG; when Git will support global |
| 459 | configuration files, this will cause it to take the configuration |
| 460 | from the global configuration file in addition to the given file. |
| 461 | </p> |

| 464 | </div> |
| 465 | <h2>EXAMPLE</h2> |
| 466 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 467 | <p>Given a .git/config like this:</p> |
| 468 | <div class="literalblock"> |
| 469 | <div class="content"> |
| 470 | <pre><tt># |

| 481 | filemode = false</tt></pre> |
| 482 | </div></div> |
| 483 | <div class="literalblock"> |
| 484 | <div class="content"> |
| 485 | <pre><tt>; Our diff algorithm |

| 497 | gitproxy=default-proxy ; for all the rest</tt></pre> |
| 498 | </div></div> |
| 499 | <p>you can set the filemode to true with</p> |
| 500 | <div class="listingblock"> |
| 501 | <div class="content"> |
| 502 | <pre><tt>% git config core.filemode true</tt></pre> |
| 503 | </div></div> |
| 504 | <p>The hypothetical proxy command entries actually have a postfix to discern |
| 505 | what URL they apply to. Here is how to change the entry for kernel.org |
| 506 | to "ssh".</p> |

| 512 | <p>To delete the entry for renames, do</p> |
| 513 | <div class="listingblock"> |
| 514 | <div class="content"> |
| 515 | <pre><tt>% git config --unset diff.renames</tt></pre> |
| 516 | </div></div> |
| 517 | <p>If you want to delete an entry for a multivar (like core.gitproxy above), |
| 518 | you have to provide a regex matching the value of exactly one line.</p> |
| 519 | <p>To query the value for a given key, do</p> |
| 520 | <div class="listingblock"> |
| 521 | <div class="content"> |
| 522 | <pre><tt>% git config --get core.filemode</tt></pre> |

| 526 | <div class="content"> |
| 527 | <pre><tt>% git config core.filemode</tt></pre> |
| 528 | </div></div> |
| 529 | <p>or, to query a multivar:</p> |
| 530 | <div class="listingblock"> |

| 562 | <h2>CONFIGURATION FILE</h2> |
| 563 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 564 | <p>The git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect |
| 565 | the git command's behavior. <tt>.git/config</tt> file for each repository |
| 566 | is used to store the information for that repository, and |
| 567 | <tt>$HOME/.gitconfig</tt> is used to store per user information to give |
| 568 | fallback values for <tt>.git/config</tt> file.</p> |
| 569 | <p>They can be used by both the git plumbing |
| 570 | and the porcelains. The variables are divided into sections, where |
| 571 | in the fully qualified variable name the variable itself is the last |
| 572 | dot-separated segment and the section name is everything before the last |
| 573 | dot. The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric |
| 574 | characters are allowed. Some variables may appear multiple times.</p> |
| 575 | <h3>Syntax</h3> |
| 576 | <p>The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly |
| 577 | ignored. The <em>#</em> and <em>;</em> characters begin comments to the end of line, |
| 578 | blank lines are ignored.</p> |
| 579 | <p>The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with |
| 580 | the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next |
| 581 | section begins. Section names are not case sensitive. Only alphanumeric |
| 582 | characters, <em><tt>-</tt></em> and <em><tt>.</tt></em> are allowed in section names. Each variable |
| 583 | must belong to some section, which means that there must be section |
| 584 | header before first setting of a variable.</p> |
| 585 | <p>Sections can be further divided into subsections. To begin a subsection |
| 586 | put its name in double quotes, separated by space from the section name, |
| 587 | in the section header, like in example below:</p> |
| 588 | <div class="listingblock"> |
| 589 | <div class="content"> |
| 590 | <pre><tt> [section "subsection"] |
| 591 | </tt></pre> |
| 592 | </div></div> |
| 593 | <p>Subsection names can contain any characters except newline (doublequote |
| 594 | <em><tt>"</tt></em> and backslash have to be escaped as <em><tt>\"</tt></em> and <em><tt>\\</tt></em>, |
| Junio C Hamano | ee1e428 | 2007-02-04 08:32:04 | [diff] [blame] | 595 | respectively) and are case sensitive. Section header cannot span multiple |
| Junio C Hamano | 7ad22dc | 2007-01-29 02:55:48 | [diff] [blame] | 596 | lines. Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection. |
| 597 | You can have <tt>[section]</tt> if you have <tt>[section "subsection"]</tt>, but you |
| 598 | don't need to.</p> |
| 599 | <p>There is also (case insensitive) alternative <tt>[section.subsection]</tt> syntax. |
| 600 | In this syntax subsection names follow the same restrictions as for section |
| 601 | name.</p> |
| 602 | <p>All the other lines are recognized as setting variables, in the form |
| 603 | <em>name = value</em>. If there is no equal sign on the line, the entire line |
| 604 | is taken as <em>name</em> and the variable is recognized as boolean "true". |
| 605 | The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric |
| 606 | characters and <em><tt>-</tt></em> are allowed. There can be more than one value |
| 607 | for a given variable; we say then that variable is multivalued.</p> |
| 608 | <p>Leading and trailing whitespace in a variable value is discarded. |
| 609 | Internal whitespace within a variable value is retained verbatim.</p> |
| 610 | <p>The values following the equals sign in variable assign are all either |
| 611 | a string, an integer, or a boolean. Boolean values may be given as yes/no, |
| 612 | 0/1 or true/false. Case is not significant in boolean values, when |
| 613 | converting value to the canonical form using <em>--bool</em> type specifier; |
| 614 | <tt>git-config</tt> will ensure that the output is "true" or "false".</p> |
| 615 | <p>String values may be entirely or partially enclosed in double quotes. |
| 616 | You need to enclose variable value in double quotes if you want to |
| 617 | preserve leading or trailing whitespace, or if variable value contains |
| 618 | beginning of comment characters (if it contains <em>#</em> or <em>;</em>). |
| 619 | Double quote <em><tt>"</tt></em> and backslash <em><tt>\</tt></em> characters in variable value must |
| 620 | be escaped: use <em><tt>\"</tt></em> for <em><tt>"</tt></em> and <em><tt>\\</tt></em> for <em><tt>\</tt></em>.</p> |
| 621 | <p>The following escape sequences (beside <em><tt>\"</tt></em> and <em><tt>\\</tt></em>) are recognized: |
| 622 | <em><tt>\n</tt></em> for newline character (NL), <em><tt>\t</tt></em> for horizontal tabulation (HT, TAB) |
| 623 | and <em><tt>\b</tt></em> for backspace (BS). No other char escape sequence, nor octal |
| 624 | char sequences are valid.</p> |
| 625 | <p>Variable value ending in a <em><tt>\</tt></em> is continued on the next line in the |
| 626 | customary UNIX fashion.</p> |
| 627 | <p>Some variables may require special value format.</p> |

| 657 | <p>Note that this list is non-comprehensive and not necessarily complete. |
| 658 | For command-specific variables, you will find a more detailed description |
| 659 | in the appropriate manual page. You will find a description of non-core |
| 660 | porcelain configuration variables in the respective porcelain documentation.</p> |

| 662 | <dt> |
| 663 | core.fileMode |
| 664 | </dt> |
| 665 | <dd> |
| 666 | <p> |
| 667 | If false, the executable bit differences between the index and |
| 668 | the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT. |
| 669 | See <a href="git-update-index.html">git-update-index(1)</a>. True by default. |
| 670 | </p> |
| 671 | </dd> |
| 672 | <dt> |
| 673 | core.gitProxy |
| 674 | </dt> |
| 675 | <dd> |
| 676 | <p> |
| 677 | A "proxy command" to execute (as <em>command host port</em>) instead |
| 678 | of establishing direct connection to the remote server when |
| 679 | using the git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is |
| 680 | in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only |
| 681 | on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable |
| 682 | may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order; |
| 683 | the first match wins. |
| 684 | </p> |
| 685 | <p>Can be overridden by the <em>GIT_PROXY_COMMAND</em> environment variable |
| 686 | (which always applies universally, without the special "for" |
| 687 | handling).</p> |
| 688 | </dd> |
| 689 | <dt> |
| 690 | core.ignoreStat |
| 691 | </dt> |
| 692 | <dd> |
| 693 | <p> |
| 694 | The working copy files are assumed to stay unchanged until you |
| 695 | mark them otherwise manually - Git will not detect the file changes |
| 696 | by lstat() calls. This is useful on systems where those are very |
| 697 | slow, such as Microsoft Windows. See <a href="git-update-index.html">git-update-index(1)</a>. |

| 701 | <dt> |
| 702 | core.preferSymlinkRefs |

| 705 | <p> |
| 706 | Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD |
| 707 | and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links. |
| 708 | This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that |
| 709 | expect HEAD to be a symbolic link. |

| 711 | </dd> |
| 712 | <dt> |
| 713 | core.logAllRefUpdates |
| 714 | </dt> |
| 715 | <dd> |
| 716 | <p> |
| 717 | Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file |
| 718 | "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>", by appending the new and old |
| 719 | SHA1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but |
| 720 | only when the file exists. If this configuration |
| 721 | variable is set to true, missing "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>" |
| 722 | file is automatically created for branch heads. |

| 743 | <p> |
| 744 | When <em>group</em> (or <em>true</em>), the repository is made shareable between |
| 745 | several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are |
| 746 | group-writable). When <em>all</em> (or <em>world</em> or <em>everybody</em>), the |
| 747 | repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being |
| 748 | group-shareable. When <em>umask</em> (or <em>false</em>), git will use permissions |
| 749 | reported by umask(2). See <a href="git-init.html">git-init(1)</a>. False by default. |

| 751 | </dd> |
| 752 | <dt> |
| 753 | core.warnAmbiguousRefs |
| 754 | </dt> |
| 755 | <dd> |
| 756 | <p> |
| 757 | If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous |
| 758 | and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. True by default. |

| 761 | <dt> |
| 762 | core.compression |
| 763 | </dt> |
| 764 | <dd> |
| 765 | <p> |
| 766 | An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that |
| 767 | are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib and git default. 0 means no |
| 768 | compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being |

| 775 | <dd> |
| 776 | <p> |
| 777 | A boolean which enables the legacy object header format in case |
| 778 | you want to interoperate with old clients accessing the object |
| 779 | database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols |
| 780 | count as direct access). |

| 783 | <dt> |
| 784 | core.packedGitWindowSize |
| 785 | </dt> |
| 786 | <dd> |
| 787 | <p> |
| 788 | Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a |
| 789 | single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow |
| 790 | your system to process a smaller number of large pack files |
| 791 | more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect |
| 792 | performance due to increased calls to the operating system's |
| 793 | memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing |
| 794 | a large number of large pack files. |
| 795 | </p> |
| 796 | <p>Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32 |
| 797 | MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should |
| 798 | be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do |
| 799 | not need to adjust this value.</p> |

| 807 | Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory |
| 808 | from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many |
| 809 | bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing |
| 810 | regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process. |
| 811 | </p> |
| 812 | <p>Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 8 GiB on 64 bit platforms. |
| 813 | This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on |

| 822 | Command aliases for the <a href="git.html">git(1)</a> command wrapper - e.g. |
| 823 | after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation |
| 824 | "git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid |
| 825 | confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that |
| 826 | hide existing git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by |
