Hey Tushar,

When you run `git config --global user.email abc@xyz.com` it writes
out this setting in ~/.gitconfig which is then considered to be
"global" ie. this same email will be used for every repo, but ...

You can always override this. Let's say there is a repo named "foo" in
which you want the email "xyz@abc.com", then you go inside that folder
and type `git config user.email xyz@abc.com`. Note: the option
`--global` is skipped here. This creates a file `.gitconfig` in the
folder "foo" and now whenever you commit, the .gitconfig file inside
the repo will get the first preference and then the global
~/.gitconfig.

This will work for you assuming that you have different repos for your
company and for your open source work. Will this solve your problem?

Regards,
Pranit Bauva
