.gitconfig is usually stored in the user.home directory.
I use a different identity to work on projects for Company A and something else for Company B (primarily the name / email). How can I have two different Git configurations so that my check-ins don’t go with the name / email?
The
.git/configfile in a particular clone of a repository is local to that clone. Any settings placed there will only affect actions for that particular project.(By default,
git configmodifies.git/config, not~/.gitconfig– only with--globaldoes it modify the latter.)
