@jomo What is the benefit compared to `using git config user.name="Firstname Lastname"` and `git config [email protected]` while being in `~/work/`? This will be stored in `~/work/.git/config`

@lx242 @jomo this works for all repositories below ~/work, not just one.

@lx242 @jomo Neat idea. I switch computers all the time and forgetting to set this happens all the time 👍

Das habe ich irgendwann mit direnv hingebogen, weil ich diese Lösung nicht kannte. Nun frage ich mich, ob ich es ändern sollte. ;)

@jomo @schm interesting. I use direnv for exactly the purpose described in the screenshot, I’ll keep it mind should this not be enough though.
