"--global" is for things that are of your personal preference, not "when I am working on this project, these settings apply" (which is suitable for "per repository"). What you want is a way to say "when I am working on these projects, these settings apply". One way to do this would be to have [includeIf "gitdir:~/Repositories/github/"] path = $HOME/.githubconfig [includeIf "gitdir:~/Repositories/gitlab/"] path = $HOME/.gitlabconfig in $HOME/.gitconfig and then write in these two extra files that are conditionally included whatever settings you want to use for any and all repositories that come from GitHub or GitLab. $ git help config and look for Conditional includes, perhaps?
