# Config Codec This module implements a codec for reading and writing git config files (this includes the .gitmodules file). As far as I can tell, this is a variant of the INI format. ## codec.decode(ini) -> config Given the text of the config file, return the data as an object. The following config: ```ini [user] name = Tim Caswell email = tim@creationix.com [color] ui = true [color "branch"] current = yellow bold local = green bold remote = cyan bold ``` Will parse to this js object ```js { user: { name: "Tim Caswell", email: "tim@creationix.com" }, color: { ui: "true", branch: { current: "yellow bold", local: "green bold", remote: "cyan bold" } } } ``` ## codec.encode(config) -> ini This reverses the conversion and writes a string from a config object.
