There's a project to do this properly, but integrating this on git itself would be great. it's just a shell script really:

https://github.com/madx/git-identity

It's already on AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-identity-git/



To clarify, this has a better API and integrates cleanly with git itself.

$ git identity -h usage: git identity [-d | --define] <identity> <name> <email> [<ssh-file>] [<gpgkeyid>] or: git identity [-p | --print] [<identity>] or: git identity [-s | --get-settings] or: git identity [-r | --remove] <identity> or: git identity [-l | --list] or: git identity [-R | --list-raw] or: git identity [--define-gpg] <gpgkeyid> or: git identity [--define-ssh] <ssh-file> [<ssh-verbosity>] or: git identity [-u | --update] or: git identity [-c | --get-shell-command] [<identity>] [<command>] or: git identity <identity>

So you can define identities such as `work`, `personal`, and then after cloning/init, run `git identity personal` to setup GPG or SSH keys, name and email.
