Subject: [PATCH 3/5] config: allow format_config() to filter
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 04:42:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d9e04240100afb4188d32c5ce784f189f59348b4.1770698579.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2044.git.1770698579.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>
The format_config() method in builtin/config.c currently only uses
git_config_*() methods for parsing. This allows parsing errors to result
in die() messages appropriate with keys in the error message.
In a future change we will want to use format_config() within 'git
config list' to help format the output, including when --type=<X>
arguments are provided. When the parsing fails in that case, that
key-value pair should be omitted instead of causing a failure across the
entire command.
This change is formatted in such a way that the if/else-if structure
allows the default die_on_error version to appear first and then be
followed by the gentle parsing mode immediately afterwards.
The only callers right now have die_on_parse set to 1.
