Git Separate Work & Personal Config

With Git it is possible to separate your personal config from your work config.

.gitconfig

[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/personal/"]
  path = ~/.gitconfig.personal

[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/work/"]
  path = ~/.gitconfig.work

[user]
  name = Marcel Beck
  email = [email protected]
  signingKey = 0x983D12649C40C7EC

[user]
  name = Marcel Beck
  email = <company email>
  signingKey = <company signing key>

Or if you want to include different work configs, you could also add another includeIf in .gitconfig.work

[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/work/<company>/"]
  path = ~/.gitconfig.work.<company>

[user]
  name = Marcel Beck
  email = <company email>
  signingKey = <company signing key>
