Using git with personal and work profile
Raw
git-with-presonal-and-work-profiles.md

Hi folks! Imagine you have work and personal profile for git on one OS and you want to git select proper email when you do git stuff.

File structure:

home-directory
├── .gitconfig
├── .gitconfig-personal
└── .gitconfig-work

.gitconfig:

...
[user]
  name = Name Surname
[includeIf "gitdir:projects/"]
  path = .gitconfig-personal
[includeIf "gitdir:work/"]
  path = .gitconfig-work
...

.gitconfig-personal:

[user]
  email = [email protected]

.gitconfig-work:

[user]
  email = [email protected]

With this setup, when we do git stuff, we will have:

.
└── projects - all projects under this directory except work will have [email protected]
    ├── pet-project - we will have [email protected]
    └── work - all projects under this derictory will have [email protected]
        └── work-project - we will have [email protected]
