I can set my email via: git config --global user.email [email protected] this is dangerous when I use this my office or in a multi repository provider environment where my email is different for a few (like [email protected] for github and [email protected] for my company private repo). I know I can over ride it per repository, but sometimes forget to do that. And even if I unset it, it inadvertantly gets set elsewhere when I make a repo and the site 'helps' me by showing me the commands to init and clone my new repo. I did an analysis on a bunch of company git repositories using jgit (only master branch), and we have 57 emails out of 346 which are not the company email. Also in there are cases when name is the same but some commits are by email 1 and others by email 2, because of this global config. As some of us work on open source and company repos on the same computer.
Feature request : can we have a config for email per repo domain ? Something like: git config --global domain.user.email [email protected] testing.abc.doman:8080 git config --global domain.user.email [email protected] abc.doman:80 git config --global domain.user.email [email protected] github.com So when remote URL has github.com push as [email protected] but for testing.abc.doman:8080 use [email protected] ? For me one name is enough. But can do the same for name if others need it? Thank you. Regards Tushar Kapila
