Started new job this week and I wanted to have a seprate email on my work related repos then my
personal ones. Cool thing is git supports
[conditional config file includes](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_conditional_includes)!


**~/.gitconfig**
```gitconfig
# per-user git config
[user]
name = Travis Shears
email = t@travisshears.com

[includeIf "gitdir:~/company-x/"]
  path = .gitconfig-company-x
```

**~/.gitconfig-company-x**
```gitconfig
# Company X spefic git config
[user]
name = Travis Shears
email = travis.shears@company-x.com
```

Now any commits made under the directory **~/company-x** will use the email
**travis.shears@company-x.com** and not my personal email.
