  • Are you asking how to set up your gitconfig? – jmargolisvt Oct 20 '18 at 14:26

You cannot set up two different emails at a global level, but yes you can have it at a repository level.

From the command line, change into the repository directory and set your email address as:

git config user.email "MY_NAME@example.com"

Verify your configuration by displaying your configuration file:

cat .git/config

I think that you could achieve that by cloning in 2 different directories. One called bitbucket and one github.

And then using .gitconfig cnditional include to load either the github config or the bitbucket one.

See .gitconfig include documentation
