This configures git to use an identity per local repository.
The idea is that the gitconfig enforces the identity to be chosen on a
project-by-project basis. Enforce this by removing the user.name and
user.email settings in your gitconfig, and replacing them with:
[user]
useConfigOnly = true
Then add an identity with e.g.
git identity add --id github.personal --name "My Name" --email "[email protected]" [--signing-key "4AJGF02"] [--ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa]
Identities can be listed with
git identity list
For each project, git will not let you commit until you have chosen an identity.
To do this, ensure that an identity is set up in your global .gitconfig, for
example the line above adds the following to your .gitconfig:
[user "github.personal"]
name = My Name
email = [email protected]
signingkey = 4AJGF02
sshkey = ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Then the github.personal identity is available for selection.
Use git identity set in a project directory to interactively choose an
identity.
An identity can be removed using git identity remove.
The command git identity gen-completion -s <shell> can be used to generate the
correct auto-completion for your shell. It prints the completion information to
stdout, so consult your shell's documentation for information on how to
integrate this.
