I am trying to set up my git config so that I can use a work environment and a personnal environment.

Here is the contents of my ~.gitconfig file (it so happens work and private are on github):

 [url "[email protected]:"]
    insteadOf = https://github.com/
 [core]
    editor = vim
 [includeIf "gitdir:~/go/src/github.com/work/"]
    path = ~/.gitconfig-work
 [includeIf "gitdir:~/go/src/github.com/fzd/"]
    path = ~/.gitconfig-private

Here are the contents of both files :

> cat ~/.gitconfig-work
[user]
    email = [email protected]
    name = realname
    signingkey = 454684684654...
[commit]
    gpgSign = true

> cat ~/.gitconfig-private
[user]
    email = [email protected]
    name = fzd

Now let's wander to one of these directories :

> cd ~/go/src/github.com/work/
> git config --get user.email  
> 

> cd ~/go/src/github.com/fzd/
> git config --get user.name
> 

None of the above returned a string.

I was expecting this to work (and it would have solved my troublesome git configuration).

Now, the "fun" part: This config was initially my work config, with only work set properly. When I try to clone a repo from github, wherever I am, it's using my work settings (I haven't restarted since I tried messing around with git - I suppose it's not yet worth it).

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong with my config ? And why is it using the work parameters ? Is there a kind of cache over the git config ?

[edit] Here are the contents of my ~/.ssh/config file:

 Host github.com
     Hostname ssh.github.com
     Port 443
 
 Host *
  ServerAliveInterval 10
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  IgnoreUnknown UseKeychain
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_work

I do have a key pair for the private repos, I'm not entirely sure how to have both here. Probably something like this.

CodePudding user response：

includeIf works only in repositories under ~/go/src/github.com/work/ and ~/go/src/github.com/fzd/ but not in a non-repo directory.

To test:

cd ~/go/src/github.com/work/<some-repo>
git config --get user.email
