The relevant part of the per-user config are

This is not conditional, and applies when you are in the repository.
> [includeIf "gitdir:~/colton/github"]
> path = ~/colton/github/.gitconfig
This is conditional, and applies when you are in a repository whose
".git" location matches the glob pattern "~/colton/github". The
location in question is "~/colton/github/coltonhurst.com", which
does not match the pattern, so it would be skipped.
> [includeIf "gitdir:~/colton/sourcehut"]
> path = ~/colton/sourcehut/.gitconfig
Likewise.
So, nobody sets user.email in your example. Isn't it expected that
nothing is returned?
I wonder what happens when the second one is updated to
> [includeIf "gitdir:~/colton/github/"]
> path = ~/colton/github/.gitconfig
as "git config --help" says:
* If the pattern ends with `/`, `**` will be automatically added. For
example, the pattern `foo/` becomes `foo/**`. In other words, it
matches "foo" and everything inside, recursively.
and "~/colton/github/**" as a pattern would match the path to the
repository in question.
