# NAME

git-annex config - configuration stored in git-annex branch

# SYNOPSIS

git annex config --set name value

git annex config --get name

git annex config --unset name

# DESCRIPTION

Set or get configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.

Unlike `git config` settings, these settings can be seen
in all clones of the repository, once they have gotten their
git-annex branches in sync.

# SUPPORTED SETTINGS

git-annex does not check the git-annex branch for all settings.
Only a few make sense to be able to set such that all clones of a
repository see the setting, and so git-annex only looks for these:

These settings can be overridden on a per-repository basis using
`git config`.

* `annex.autocommit`

  Set to false to prevent the git-annex assistant and git-annex sync
  from automatically committing changes to files in the repository.

# EXAMPLE

Suppose you want to prevent git annex sync from committing changes
to files, so a manual git commit workflow is used in all clones of the
repository. Then run:

	git annex config --set annex.autocommit false

If you change your mind, you can get back to the default behavior:

	git annex config --unset annex.autocommit
