So, I've set up includeIf before, and have had it working, but it seems to not be working in my latest attempt. This is git 2.38.2 on Ubuntu Linux 20.04. Contents of ~/.gitconfig (truncated): [user] name = Joshua Kugler email = joshua@xxxxxxxxxxxx [includIf "gitdir:~/repos/work/"] path = ~/repos/work/gitconfig Contents of ~/repos/work/gitconfig: [user] name = Joshua Kugler email = joshua@xxxxxxx Now, if I do this: cd /home/jkugler/repos/work/some_repo and run: $ git config --show-origin --get user.email file:/home/jkugler/.gitconfig joshua@xxxxxxxxxxxx Like I said, I've set this up before, and had it working. I don't know what I'm doing differently/wrong...but would be happy to be told so. Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't matching like I thought it should? What other command output could help debug this? Thanks! j -- Joshua J.
