Using git with personal and work profile

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 = personal@email.com

.gitconfig-work:

[user]
  email = work@company.com

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

.
└── projects - all projects under this directory except work will have personal@email.com
    ├── pet-project - we will have personal@email.com
    └── work - all projects under this derictory will have work@company.com
        └── work-project - we will have work@company.com
