I have work and personal repos and want to switch between the two on the same machine with their respective git accounts. I have set up GPG Signed commits on the work repo and I want to set up ssh commits on a personal repo and be able to switch between the two.
But I keep getting this error
Author identity unknown
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
I have a folder structure like so:
root
|_ .gitconfig
|_ .ssh
|_config
|_mypersonal (ssh key)
|_mypersonal.pub (ssh key)
|_ Desktop
|_ repos (work)
|_ .gitconfig.work
|_ workRepos...
|_ myrepos (personal)
|_ .gitconfig.pers
|_ personalRepos...
And these are the git files listed above:
# .gitconfig
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Desktop/myrepos/"]
path = ~/Desktop/myrepos/.gitconfig-pers
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Desktop/repos/"]
path = ~/Desktop/repos/.gitconfig-work
[core]
excludesfile = ~/.gitignore
#config
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mypersonal
#.gitconfig.work
[user]
email = [email protected]
name = Me Work
signingkey = *********************************
[commit]
gpgsign = true
#.gitconfig.pers
[user]
email = [email protected]
name = Me Personal
[github]
user = “githubUserName”
[core]
sshCommand = “ssh -i ~/.ssh/mypersonal”
CodePudding user response:
Double-check the path declared in your global config, and use:
git config --list --show-origin --show-scope
In each repository.
You can compare your setup with the process described in this gist.
