No, there no git commands for listing all your projects. BTW. you can use different identities for different projects by setting it in .git/config, i.e. in per-repository configuration file.

Simple solution, which finds only non-bare repositories, and which can find false positives:

 $ find ~ -name ".git" -type d -print

More complicated solution, used by gitweb, requires Perl, not checked that it works correctly, doesn't work with ancient repositories with symlink HEAD.

 $ perl -e '
 use File::Find qw(find);
 my @list = ();
 find({follow_fast => 1, follow_skip => 2, dangling_symlinks => 0,
       wanted => sub {
         return if (m!^[/.]$!);
         return unless (-d $_);
         push @list, $_ if -e "$_/HEAD" 
       }});
 print join("\n", @list)."\n";
