> Parse `.git/config` into a JavaScript object. sync or async.



Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.



## Install



Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):



```sh

$ npm install --save parse-git-config

```



## Usage



```js

const parse = require('parse-git-config');



// sync

console.log(parse.sync());



// using async/await

(async () => console.log(await parse()))();

```



## Options



### cwd



The starting directory to search from.



**Type**: `string`



**Default**: `process.cwd()` (current working directory)



### path



Either the absolute path to .git `config`, or the path relative to the current working directory.



**Type**: `string`



**Default**: `.git/config`



### Examples config object



Parsed config object will look something like:



```js

{ core:

   { repositoryformatversion: '0',

     filemode: true,

     bare: false,

     logallrefupdates: true,

     ignorecase: true,

     precomposeunicode: true },

  'remote "origin"':

   { url: 'https://github.com/jonschlinkert/parse-git-config.git',

     fetch: '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*' },

  'branch "master"': { remote: 'origin', merge: 'refs/heads/master', ... } }

```



## API



### [parse](index.js#L42)



Asynchronously parse a `.git/config` file. If only the callback is passed, the `.git/config` file relative to `process.cwd()` is used.



**Params**



* `options` **{Object|String|Function}**: Options with `cwd` or `path`, the cwd to use, or the callback function.

* `callback` **{Function}**: callback function if the first argument is options or cwd.

* `returns` **{Object}**



**Example**



```js

parse((err, config) => {

  if (err) throw err;

  // do stuff with config

});



// or, using async/await

(async () => {

  console.log(await parse());

  console.log(await parse({ cwd: 'foo' }));

  console.log(await parse({ cwd: 'foo', path: 'some/.git/config' }));

})();

```



### [.sync](index.js#L88)



Synchronously parse a `.git/config` file. If no arguments are passed, the `.git/config` file relative to `process.cwd()` is used.



**Params**



* `options` **{Object|String}**: Options with `cwd` or `path`, or the cwd to use.

* `returns` **{Object}**



**Example**



```js

console.log(parse.sync());

console.log(parse.sync({ cwd: 'foo' }));

console.log(parse.sync({ cwd: 'foo', path: 'some/.git/config' }));

```



### [.expandKeys](index.js#L134)



Returns an object with only the properties that had ini-style keys converted to objects.



**Params**



* `config` **{Object}**: The parsed git config object.

* `returns` **{Object}**



**Example**



```js

const config = parse.sync({ path: '/path/to/.gitconfig' });

const obj = parse.expandKeys(config);

```



### .expandKeys examples



Converts ini-style keys into objects:



**Example 1**



```js

const parse = require('parse-git-config');

const config = { 

  'foo "bar"': { doStuff: true },

  'foo "baz"': { doStuff: true } 

};



console.log(parse.expandKeys(config));

```



Results in:



```js

{ 

  foo: { 

    bar: { doStuff: true }, 

    baz: { doStuff: true } 

  } 

}

```



**Example 2**



```js

const parse = require('parse-git-config');

const config = {

  'remote "origin"': { 

    url: 'https://github.com/jonschlinkert/normalize-pkg.git',

    fetch: '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*' 

  },

  'branch "master"': { 

    remote: 'origin', 

    merge: 'refs/heads/master' 

  },

  'branch "dev"': { 

    remote: 'origin', 

    merge: 'refs/heads/dev', 

    rebase: true 

  }

};



console.log(parse.expandKeys(config));

```



Results in:



```js

{

  remote: {

    origin: {

      url: 'https://github.com/jonschlinkert/normalize-pkg.git',

      fetch: '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

    }

  },

  branch: {

    master: {

      remote: 'origin',

      merge: 'refs/heads/master'

    },

    dev: {

      remote: 'origin',

      merge: 'refs/heads/dev',

      rebase: true

    }

  }

}

```
