Multiple Git Identities

Source: https://www.benji.dog/articles/git-config/

You can set up multiple git identities by using includeIf https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_includes

. Say if you want to use different git config files based on where the git repo you’re working on is:

[includeIf "gitdir:~/code/**"]
  path = ~/.config/git/personal
[includeIf "gitdir:~/work/**"]
  path = ~/.config/git/work

You can also organize them based on the remote url too, so if you want to work on different organizations from the same git forge, you can:

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:git@github.com:orgname/**"]
  path = ~/.config/git/config-gh-org

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:git@github.com:*/**"]
  path = ~/.config/git/config-gh

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:git@gitlab.com:*/**"]
  path = ~/.config/git/config-gl

[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:git@git.sr.ht:*/**"]
  path = ~/.config/git/config-srht
