NAME

borg-config - get, set, and delete values in a repository or cache config file

SYNOPSIS

borg [common options] config [options] [REPOSITORY] [NAME] [VALUE]

DESCRIPTION

This command gets and sets options in a local repository or cache config file. For security reasons, this command only works on local repositories.

To delete a config value entirely, use --delete. To list the values of the configuration file or the default values, use --list. To get and existing key, pass only the key name. To set a key, pass both the key name and the new value. Keys can be specified in the format "section.name" or simply "name"; the section will default to "repository" and "cache" for the repo and cache configs, respectively.

By default, borg config manipulates the repository config file. Using --cache edits the repository cache's config file instead.

OPTIONS

See borg-common(1) for common options of Borg commands.
