Get or set Git configuration
Get or set Git options, as git config does on the command line. Global
settings affect all of a user's Git operations (git config --global),
whereas local settings are scoped to a specific repository (git config --local). When both exist, local options always win. Four functions address
the four possible combinations of getting vs setting and global vs. local.
| local | global | |
| get | git_config() |
git_config_global() |
| set | git_config_set() |
git_config_global_set() |
git_config(repo = ".") git_config_global() git_config_set(name, value, repo = ".") git_config_global_set(name, value)
repo |
The path to the git repository. If the directory is not a
repository, parent directories are considered (see git_find). To disable
this search, provide the filepath protected with |
name |
Name of the option to set |
value |
Value to set. Must be a string, logical, number or |
git_config(): a data.frame of the Git options "in force" in the context
of repo, one row per option. The level column reveals whether the
option is determined from global or local config.
git_config_global(): a data.frame, as for git_config(), except only
for global Git options.
git_config_set(), git_config_global_set(): The previous value of
name in local or global config, respectively. If this option was
previously unset, returns NULL. Returns invisibly.
All entries in the name column are automatically normalised to
lowercase (see
https://libgit2.org/libgit2/#HEAD/type/git_config_entry for details).
