Loading

Managing multiple git identities within .gitconfig file.

You can set this one up per-folder but I prefer mine to be set per wildcard of remote origin URL like so, example:
contents of my global ~/.gitconfig

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:**github.com:*/*.git"]
	path = .gitconfig_personal

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:**github.com:productboard/*.git"]
	path = .gitconfig_productboard

contents of ~/.gitconfig_productboard:

[user]
	email = [email protected]
	name = John Does
    signingKey = xxx

contents of ~/.gitconfig_personal

# ... you get the idea
