How to use 2 different global git configs?

Question

I am using the github client and sourcetree by atlassian. I wanted to use 2 different global git configs for each software.

At the moment I have to edit and check every commit my autor and email name.

So how can I specify a unique config for each git program that I use.

Answer 1

Each repo has its own configuration, which can override the system-wide and global configurations. Just enter each repo and

git config user.name xxxx
git config user.email yyyy

Note the lack of the --global option.
