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.
