Git 2.13 conditional config on windows

Question

Git version: 2.13.0.windows.1

OS: Windows 7

CLI: Git bash

.gitconfig

Answer 1

Your global C:/Users//.gitconfig should have this includeIf:

[includeIf "gitdir:C:/Users//Documents/webstorm/corporate/"]
    path = .gitconfig-work

with having your work Git repos in C:/Users//Documents/webstorm/corporate and the conditional work configuration should be located at C:/Users//.gitconfig-work.

That's at least working for me in Window's cmd and Cmder. A git config --show-origin --get user.email should than show you from where a config value is loaded/resolved.

It also seems like the conditional work configuration is only used when issued from within a Git repository.

C:\Users\\Documents\webstorm\corporate
λ git config --show-origin --get user.email
file:C:/Users//.gitconfig  foo@oss.com

C:\Users\\Documents\webstorm\corporate\some-repo
λ git config --show-origin --get user.email
file:C:/Users//.gitconfig-work  foo@company.com

C:\Users\\Documents\webstorm\corporate\some-non-repo-dir
λ git config --show-origin --get user.email
file:C:/Users//.gitconfig  foo@oss.com
