+The type specifier can be either \fI\-\-int\fR or \fI\-\-bool\fR, which will make \fIgit\-repo\-config\fR ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int, a "true" or "false" string for bool)\&. If no type specifier is passed, no checks or transformations are performed on the value\&.
