Cool git trick for setting author
Don't know about you, but in the past i had couple times burned myself when wrong git configuration of the project was making me to commit things under wrong author. I'm using my work laptop for personal projects as well, so sometimes i mix "identities" and get in troubles. How excited i was when i discovered this small git
trick! . Just add this to your ~/.gitconfig
file :
[includeIf "gitdir:/Users/andrew/Work/"]
[user]
name = Andrew Zakordonets
email = [my_work_email]
[includeIf "gitdir:/Users/andrew/Github/"]
[user]
name = Andrew Zakordonets
email = [my_personal_email]
And that's it! Now, when you commit things under Work
folder - author is set as work
user. For personal projects - you get personal author
!
It's gonna save from multiple git commit --amend --author=
commands in the future.
