I've noticed a strange behavior, which might be a bug. When I'm in a subdirectory of a repo, the IncludeIf is ignored, which makes certain tasks only possible in the root directory of the repo. e.g. commit Here's a minimal config: .gitconfig: [includeIf "gitdir:~/projects/personal/"] path = .gitconfig-personal [includeIf "gitdir:~/projects/work/"] path = .gitconfig-work [commit] gpgsign = true .gitconfig-personal: [user] name = Helmut K. C. Tessarek email = personal@xxxxxxxxx signingkey = xxxxxxx1 .gitconfig-work: [user] name = K. C. Tessarek email = work@xxxxxxxxx signingkey = xxxxxxx2 Ok, now create a repo in ~/projects/personal/test/ then add a directory to that repo and commit cd ~/projects/personal/test/ mkdir new-dir git add . git commit -m "new dir" # committed with the correct user name and email, and signed with the correct key cd new-dir touch file git add . git commit -m "new file" # error: name and email are empty, key is empty to Run: git config -l --show-origin No entries for name, email, signingkey Cheers, K. C. -- regards Helmut K. C.
