As I was following the tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-20-04 I wanted to know, how can we configure multiple usernames? Reason: Say one project is personal and requires myemail@gmail.com and other one is professional and requires myemail@company.com. How can I achieve the same?

Hi there @yashtibrewal,
In order to set up your Git username for a single repository, you need to skip the
--global
flag and run the command inside the specific repository.Let’s have the following example if you have 2 repositories:
project1
andproject2
.project1
directory:Once you are ready with
project1
use thecd
command to access theproject2
repository and run the config command again.Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
