[embedding-shape]

Which works for a while, until you have a bunch of projects under various identities.

In my main ~/.gitconfig I have:

  [includeIf "gitdir:/home/user/projects/embedding-shapes/"]
  path = /home/user/.gitconfig-embedding-shapes

Where basically `projects/` follow GitHub naming with $user/$repo, so I set the git identity based on all projects within that user, rather than repo-by-repo which would get cumbersome fast.

Then you just make sure you're in the right directory :)

This. I’ve seen so many tools solving problems that already have solutions lately because LLMs allow people to run off and “fix” the problem their way before they can a chance to discover existing, more appropriate solutions.

The next step of this problem space is: “when I’m working on project X, I often forget to change my GitHub user with Gitas” so now they need direnv or something to switch it for them. The original solution foresaw this - so is far more complete that Gitas already _and_ built into git itself.

But, LLMs, so here we are, slowly drowning in a growing ocean of software built by the unaware.

I use that approach. I also make sure to not set the [user] section in my main config (and only in the included files). That way if I'm operating outside of one of my user directories git commit fails due to having no user details.
