I have logged in my Github (using Github Desktop) and Gitlab account in my laptop and it has different name and email. When I commit my code to my Gitlab repo, the account that make a commit is Github account. And when I check using git config --list it shows my Github account.
How to seperate my Github and Gitlab account so it will use correct account when do some commit etc. Thank you
In your GitLab repository folder, set the proper name/email
git config user.name "your Name"
git config user.email your@email.com
That way, you will create commits using the local setting to that specific repository.
Another approach is to put your GitLab repositories in a gitlab folder.
That way, you can include in your global config ~/.gitconfig a config dedicated to GitLab depending on the path:
[includeIf "gitdir:~/gitlab/"]
path = .gitconfig-gitlab
That means you don't have to set your user/email for each individual GitLab repositories you are cloning.
