Background
I have one laptop with both personal and work projects. I have organised code into two folders, work and personal so I want to use a different git identity for each:
- /code/work
- /code/personal
.gitconfig
The basis for the solution here is we can conditionally include other config files in the main .gitconfig file and then create a different .gitconfig file for each identity. For example here is the main file:
[user]
name = Mutable Comment
email = [email protected]
[includeIf "gitdir:~/code/work/"]
path = ~/.gitconfig-work
The .gitconfig-work file will look like this:
[user]
name = Mutable Comment
email = [email protected]
This setup allows me to use a different git identity per folder. For this particular setup, the default is my personal account but the /code/work folder will use the work email.
