Is it possible to have different Git configuration for different projects?

Question

.gitconfig is usually stored in the user.home directory.

I use a different identity to work on projects for Company A and something else fo

Answer 1

Another way is to use direnv and to separate config files per directory. For example:

.
├── companyA
│  ├── .envrc
│  └── .gitconfig
├── companyB
│  ├── .envrc
│  └── .gitconfig
└── personal
   ├── .envrc
   └── .gitconfig

Each .envrc should contain something like this:

export GIT_CONFIG=$(pwd)/.gitconfig

And .gitconfig is usual gitconfig with desired values.
