.SH "DESCRIPTION"
You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command\&. The name is actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be escaped\&.
-If you want to set/unset an option which can occur on multiple lines, you should provide a POSIX regex for the value\&. If you want to handle the lines not matching the regex, just prepend a single exclamation mark in front (see EXAMPLES)\&.

+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\&.
