Can I specify multiple users for myself in .gitconfig?

by

You can configure an individual repo to use a specific user / email address which overrides the global configuration. From the root of the repo, run

git config user.name "Your Name Here"
git config user.email [email protected]

whereas the default user / email is configured in your ~/.gitconfig

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
