What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of keeping personal git configuration separate from shareable, version-controlled settings by using Git's include mechanism.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-tier configuration: Main shared config files live in version control, while Personal/local settings reside in a separate local file.
  • Safe machine setup: Easily apply personal user identities, credentials, and signing keys on new machines without committing them.
  • Use Case: When provisioning a new development workstation, keep your personal details in ~/.gitconfig.local and include it in ~/.gitconfig.

Quick Start

Create and reference a local config with an include directive so that personal settings are loaded automatically.
