Subject: Feature request: read git config from parent directory
Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2016 20:49:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3881793.6JIRvg1BPW@ylum> (raw)
Hello
I use the same machine for work and open-source contribution. In both cases, I
deal with a lot of repositories. Depending on whether I commit for work or
open-source activities, I must use a different mail address. I used to setup
work address for each work repo in git local config, but this is no longer
practical.
Since I use different directories for work and open-source, would it be
possible for git to read irs config also from parent directories ? I.e. setup
git to read config from ./.git/config then ../.gitconfig, ../../gitconfig until
global ~/.gitconfig.
All the best
