dotnet-config 1.2.0

The command line tool allows you to inspect and modify configuration files used by your dotnet tools. Installation is the same as for any other dotnet tool:

> dotnet tool install -g dotnet-config

The available options and actions are (for the most part) compatible with the behavior of git config.

When reading and writing from a single file, you can for the most part just use git config along with the compatibility option -f|--file specifying the file to read/write from.

Reading and writing variables don't require any special options. The following lines first write a variable value and then retrieve its value:

> dotnet config mytool.myvariable myvalue
> dotnet config mytool.myvariable
myvalue

The value is returned verbatim via the standard output, so you can assign it directly to a variable, for example.

All current options from running dotnet config -? are:

Usage: dotnet config [options]

Location (uses all locations by default)
 --global use global config file
 --system use system config file
 --local use .netconfig.user file
 -f, --file use given config file (git config compat)
 --path[=VALUE] use given config file or directory

Action
 --get get value: name [value-regex]
 --get-all get all values: key [value-regex]
 --get-regexp get values for regexp: name-regex [value-regex]
 --add add a new variable: name value
 --unset remove a variable: name [value-regex]
 --unset-all remove all matches: name [value-regex]
 --set set value: name value [value-regex]
 --set-all set all matches: name value [value-regex]
 --rename-section rename section: old-name new-name
 --remove-section remove a section: name
 -l, --list list all
 -e, --edit edit the config file in an editor

Other
 --name-only show variable names only
 --default[=VALUE] with --get, use default value when missing entry
 --type[=VALUE] value is given this type, can be 'boolean', '
 datetime' or 'number'
 -?, -h, --help Display this help

Command line parsing is done with Mono.Options so all the following variants for arguments are supported: -flag, --flag, /flag, -flag=value, --flag=value, /flag=value, -flag:value, --flag:value, /flag:value, -flag value, --flag value, /flag value.
