The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify
the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if
you're not actually in a repository.
Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write
".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet
failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no
matching config value). Writing would generally fail
noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since
b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git",
2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and
die with an assertion.
Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the
problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.
Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes
default to using local repository config (e.g., when
writing). These cases are already protected by similar
checks, and covered by a test in t1308.

The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner.
Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical
codepath here.

The URL matching function computes for two URLs whether they match not.
The match is performed by splitting up the URL into different parts and
then doing an exact comparison with the to-be-matched URL.
The main user of `urlmatch` is the configuration subsystem. It allows to
set certain configurations based on the URL which is being connected to
via keys like `http.<url>.*`. A common use case for this is to set
proxies for only some remotes which match the given URL. Unfortunately,
having exact matches for all parts of the URL can become quite tedious
in some setups. Imagine for example a corporate network where there are
dozens or even hundreds of subdomains, which would have to be configured
individually.
Allow users to write an asterisk '*' in place of any 'host' or
'subdomain' label as part of the host name. For example,
"http.https://*.example.com.proxy" sets "http.proxy" for all direct
subdomains of "https://example.com", e.g. "https://foo.example.com", but
not "https://foo.bar.example.com".

In order to be able to rank positive matches by `urlmatch`, we inspect
the path length and user part to decide whether a match is better than
another match. As all other parts are matched exactly between both URLs,
this is the correct thing to do right now.
In the future, though, we want to introduce wild cards for the domain
part. When doing this, it does not make sense anymore to only compare
the path lengths. Instead, we also want to compare the domain lengths to
determine which of both URLs matches the host part more closely.

The "git -c var=value" option stuffs the config value into
$GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, so that sub-processes can see it.
When the config is later read via git_config() or similar,
we parse it back out of that variable. The parsing end is a
little bit picky; it assumes that each entry was generated
with sq_quote_buf(), and that there is no extraneous
whitespace.
On the generating end, we are careful to append to an
existing $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable if it exists.
However, our test for "should we add a space separator" is
too liberal: it will add one even if the environment
variable exists but is empty. As a result, you might end up
with:
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS=" 'core.foo=bar'"
which the parser will choke on.
This was hard to trigger in older versions of git, since we
only set the variable when we had something to put into it
(though you could certainly trigger it manually). But since
14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command
line, 2016-02-29), the submodule code will unconditionally
put the $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable into the environment
of any operation in the submodule, whether it is empty or
not. So any of those operations which themselves use "git
-c" will generate the unparseable value and fail.
We can easily fix it by catching this case on the generating
side. While we're adding a test, let's also check that
multiple layers of "git -c" work, which was previously not
tested at all.

'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell
script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config
--list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config
variable names from their values. However, such a parsing can't cope
with multi-line values. Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated
output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase
shells can't cope with null characters.
Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues.
Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing

When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".
This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.
Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).
Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.
Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

true
$ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://weak.example.com
false

The config-editing code used by "git config var value" is
built around the regular config callback parser, whose only
triggerable item is an actual key. As a result, it does not
know anything about section headers, which can result in
unnecessarily ugly output:
1. When we delete the last key in a section, we should be
able to delete the section header.
2. When we add a key into a section, we should be able to
reuse the same section header, even if that section did
not have any keys in it already.
Unfortunately, fixing these is not trivial with the current
code. It would involve the config parser recording and
passing back information on each item it finds, including
headers, keys, and even comments (or even better, generating
an actual in-memory parse-tree).
Since these behaviors do not cause any functional problems
(i.e., the resulting config parses as expected, it is just
uglier than one would like), fixing them can wait until
somebody feels like substantially refactoring the parsing
code. In the meantime, let's document them as known issues

If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain
and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of
that value. This is unlike the usual internal config
parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous
values, leaving only the final one. For example:
[set a multivar]
$ git config user.email one@example.com
$ git config --add user.email two@example.com
[use the internal parser to fetch it]
$ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
Your Name <two@example.com> ...
[use git-config to fetch it]
$ git config user.email
one@example.com
error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com
This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular
parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file
($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority
value at the end.
Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own
parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does
not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value.
So in practice, this distinction never mattered much,
because it only triggered for values in the same file. And
there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in
overwriting values from lower-priority files.
However, this changed with the implementation of config
include files. Now we might see an include overriding a
value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do,
but git-config will flag as a duplication.
This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and
switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case;
--get-all can still be used if callers want to do something
more fancy).
As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is
a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be
to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner
for a few reasons:
1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you
just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then
you will get a _different_ answer than the regular
config parser (you'll get the first value instead of
the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite
semantics anyway.
2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config,
it is bringing us in line with what the internal
parsers already do.
3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing
keeping us from sharing more code with the internal
config parser, which will help keep differences to a
minimum.
Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of
git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal
parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

modern techniques or styles. This patch updates it in the
following ways:
1. Use test_cmp instead of cmp (to make failures easier to

2. Use test_cmp instead of 'test $(command) = expected'.
This makes failures much easier to debug, and also
makes sure that $(command) exits appropriately.
3. Use test_must_fail (easier to read, and checks more
rigorously for signal death).
4. Write tests with the usual style of:
test_expect_success 'test name' '
test commands &&
...
'
rather than one-liners, or using backslash-continuation.
This is purely a style fixup.
There are still a few command happening outside of
test_expect invocations, but they are all innoccuous system
commands like "cat" and "cp". In an ideal world, each test
would be self sufficient and all commands would happen
inside test_expect, but it is not immediately obvious how
the grouping should work (some of the commands impact the
subsequent tests, and some of them are setting up and
modifying state that many tests depend on). This patch just

The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set
of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo
config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the
latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename,
and the code in config.c does the right thing.
Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants
of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual
filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a
lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs:
1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look
in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of
repository setup. We already handle this properly for
"git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used
config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a
single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just
works.
2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect
core.editor. This is because just before editing, we
called git_config, which would respect the
config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this
particular git_config call was not about looking in the
user's specified file, but rather about loading actual
git config, just as any other git program would.

Subsections are a tricky point, though. Since we have both

you might want git-config to canonicalize the subsection or
not, depending on which you are expecting. But there's no
way to communicate this; git-config sees only the key, and
doesn't know which type of section name will be in the

This is a very old script, and did a lot of:
echo whatever >expect
git config foo bar
test_expect_success 'cmp .git/config expect'
which meant that we didn't actually check that the call to
git-config succeeded. Fix this, and while we're at it,
modernize the style to use test_cmp.

The previous logic in show_config was to print the delimiter when the
value was set, but Boolean variables have an implicit value "true" when
they appear with no value in the config file. As a result, we got:
git_Config --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean' #1
. NO: example.booleantrue
Fix this by defering the display of the separator until after the value
to display has been computed.

We already check for an empty key on the left side of an
equals, but we would segfault if there was no content at
all.

The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:
1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
fopen() fails on the file.
2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
an error.
When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:
git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean
will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

If you do something like:
git -c core.foo="value with = in it" ...
we would split your option on "=" into three fields and
throw away the third one. With this patch we correctly take
everything after the first "=" as the value (keys cannot
have an equals sign in them, so the parsing is unambiguous).

The handle_options() function advances the base of the argument array and
returns the number of arguments it used. The caller in handle_alias()
wants to reallocate the argv array it passes to this function, and
attempts to do so by subtracting the returned value to compensate for the
change handle_options() makes to the new_argv.
But handle_options() did not correctly count when "-c <config=value>" is
given, causing a wrong pointer to be passed to realloc().
Fix it by saving the original argv at the beginning of handle_options(),
and return the difference between the final value of argv, which will
relieve the places that move the array pointer from the additional burden
of keeping track of "handled" counter.

Previously we parsed GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS lazily into a
linked list, and then checked that list during future
invocations of git_config. However, that ignores the fact
that the environment variable could change during our run
(e.g., because we parse more "-c" as part of an alias).
Instead, let's just re-parse the environment variable each
time. It's generally not very big, and it's no more work
than parsing the config files, anyway.
As a bonus, we can ditch all of the linked list storage code
entirely, making the code much simpler.
The test unfortunately still does not pass because of an
unrelated bug in handle_options.

It is possible to break your repository config by creating an invalid key. The
config parser in turn chokes on it:
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gittest/.git/
$ git config .foo false
$ git config core.bare
fatal: bad config file line 6 in .git/config
This patch makes git-config reject keys which start or end with a dot and adds
tests for these cases.

Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them. As a side
effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in
builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in
git_config_parse_key.
This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests
for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was
no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use
section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples
as well as adding its own test.

The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:
1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
errors cause an immediate die).
2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.
However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.
This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.
