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.

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

EXAMPLES

       NOTE:
          The  repository & cache config files are some of the only directly manipulable parts of
          a repository that aren't versioned or backed up, so be careful when making changes!

          # find cache directory
          $ cd ~/.cache/borg/$(borg config /path/to/repo id)

          # reserve some space
          $ borg config /path/to/repo additional_free_space 2G

          # make a repo append-only
          $ borg config /path/to/repo append_only 1
