GIT config ini format parser and serializer for node.

Usage

Consider an git config ini-file .git/config that looks like this:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
    precomposeunicode = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = https://github.com/nfer/git-config-ini
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[user]
    name = Nfer Zhuang

You can read, manipulate and write the ini-file like so:

var fs = require('fs')
  , ini = require('ini')

var config = ini.parse(fs.readFileSync('.git/config', 'utf-8'))

config.core.filemode = false
config.user.name = 'nfer'
config.user.email = '[email protected]'

fs.writeFileSync('.git/config', ini.stringify(config))

API

decode(inistring)

Decode the ini-style formatted inistring into a nested object.

parse(inistring)

Alias for decode(inistring)

encode(object)

Encode the object object into an ini-style formatted string.

stringify(object)

Alias for encode(object)

safe(val)

Escapes the string val such that it is safe to be used as a key or value in an ini-file. Basically escapes quotes. For example

ini.safe('"unsafe string"')

would result in
