@IntrusionCM So I will have to set it up only once and then I can just pull/commit without having to worry of e-mails getting mixed?

@topsecret230 Yes
You might find easier explanations via Google, but the gist is:
https://git-scm.com/docs/...
includeIf
You can include for a specific directory glob a specific git configuration. If I remember correctly, glob can be recursive, so you could match
/projects/identity1/**/
...
/projects/identity2/**/
Where ** means any subfolder.
The git configuration would consist of the username and mail.
SSH config for the necessary authentication setup, so that the git configured identities match a specific SSH key. -
I have two entirely separate accounts on GitHub, one for work and one for personal use. At first I messed around with aliases to swap my username and email as needed, but then I found an easier way. If your folder organization isn't a complete mess, you can use conditional includes based on the repo path.
[includeIf "gitdir:~/work/"]
path = ~/.work.gitconfig
Then I just have my work username, email, and gpg key configured in that .work.gitconfig file. Any time I perform git operations on any repo under ~/work, it includes that other config file, overriding my personal credentials with my work credentials.

How do you deal with multiple git identities?
Im working fulltime + freelancing + working on my own projects and all of them are on different gitlab emails. It was very annoying to keep remembering to set my git email to a proper one each time I switch to work on another project.
Right now I came up with something easier:
I started using just 1 gitlab profile (personal one) and added my both company e-mails as secondary emails to my personal gitlab profile.
This way I can keep my git identity the same (personal e-mail address) and if I push to company1 repo or company2 repo the commit author e-mail addres is shown email@company1.com and email@company2.com as these emails are given access to private repos and they are added to my personal gitlab account.
Just wondering if these companies will see my commits to other repos by viewing my personal gitlab profile or no? Or if there is an easier way to handle multiple git identities without having to switch between them each time I open another project and want to push some commits.
