How can I set my Git user.name differently in different projects?

Question

I am working on two projects. And I have set the Git configuration

git config --global user.name "xxx"

When I switch project I want to change the name for the project, setting up same configuration back again.

How can I set different names for the different projects in Git?

Ohk sorry . But I was searching with defferent words – Arpit Vaishnav Mar 07 '13 at 11:21 — Arpit Vaishnav, Mar 07 '13 at 11:21

Just omit the --global option to configure each repo separately. And see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2013/02/27/10397393.aspx

in each git project, after you git init just do

git config user.name "xxx"
