Can I use this for multiple GitHub accounts on one machine?

Yes, the skill configures either core.sshCommand overrides or SSH host-based routing to ensure the correct SSH key is presented to GitHub based on the project folder.

Will this fix 'Unverified' labels on my GitHub commits?

Yes, it helps you correctly map your Git email to the corresponding GPG signing key for that specific identity, which is the most common cause of unverified signatures.

How does this skill switch between Git identities?

It utilizes Git's 'includeIf' conditional include feature to automatically apply specific configuration files based on the directory path of the repository you are currently working in.

Does it support Windows file paths?

Absolutely. The skill accounts for Windows path case-insensitivity by using the 'gitdir/i:' syntax and ensures proper forward-slash normalization for Git configuration.

Security & Testing

Configures directory-scoped Git identities to automate switching between work and personal emails, GPG keys, and SSH credentials.

This skill provides a robust framework for managing multiple Git personas on a single development machine by implementing directory-scoped isolation through Git's includeIf feature. It ensures that the correct user email, name, GPG signing key, and SSH identity are automatically applied based on the repository's file system path, eliminating manual configuration overrides. This is an essential tool for developers who juggle professional and personal projects, helping to prevent identity leakage, resolve 'Unverified' commit issues on platforms like GitHub, and manage multiple account credentials without friction.
