I'm using git for several project at the same time. Apparently I have a global setting with username, etc. What I want to maintain is different user name, email, etc for different project. How to achieve this?

    You can use the --local config option instead of global see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9063176/git-multiple-user-names-for-the-different-projects-within-the-same-system – Jake C. Jun 14 '15 at 16:03

Just use the git config command without the --global parameter.

Instead of 

git config --global user.name "lang2"

Type

git config user.name "lang2"

As described in the documentation, global configurations are stored in ~/.gitconfig, and per repository configuration resides in .git/config.

  • Do you know if it is possible to add a tracked configuration as well? Such that the config will be available on each checkout? I was thinking about adding a `.gitattributes` filter to clean up files prior to comitting, and it would make sense to do this for each collaborator. – exhuma May 23 '18 at 07:46
