Git: Set local user.name and user.email different for each repo
I'm currently working on 2 projects, which expect that I configure my local username and email with different data when I push to them.
for that I'm updaing my config all the time like:
git config --local user.email "[email protected]"
Since they are different repositories, is there a way I could define an local email for each repository?
Maybe in the .gitconfig?
Solution 1:
For just one repo:
git config user.name "Your Name Here"
git config user.email [email protected]
For (global) default email (which is configured in your ~/.gitconfig):
git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
Solution 2:
You can confirm that by printing on the terminal:
- Global user:
git config --global user.name - Local user:
git config user.name
Solution 3:
I generally tend to keep diff name/email for my company project and personal project(on github)
Run below command in the git repo where you need to specify the user/email
git config user.name <user-name>
git config user.email <user-email>
