This is git 2.38.2 on Ubuntu Linux 20.04. Contents of ~/.gitconfig (truncated): [user] name = Joshua Kugler email = joshua@personal.com [includIf "gitdir:~/repos/work/"] path = ~/repos/work/gitconfig Contents of ~/repos/work/gitconfig: [user] name = Joshua Kugler email = joshua@work.io Now, if I do this: cd /home/jkugler/repos/work/some_repo and run: $ git config --show-origin --get user.email file:/home/jkugler/.gitconfig joshua@personal.com Like I said, I've set this up before, and had it working. I don't know what I'm doing differently/wrong...but would be happy to be told so. Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't matching like I thought it should? What other command output could help debug this? Thanks! j -- Joshua J.

If so, then perhaps s/includ/include/ would help? With that change, your example works for me. > Like I said, I've set this up before, and had it working.

We'll run realpath() on the repository directory before matching, so your pattern needs to take that into account. > Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't > matching like I thought it should?

You'd have to run it under gdb (break on the include_by_gitdir function). -Peff ``` ## Jeff King, 2022-12-12 20:57 Subject: Re: includeIf appears to not be working Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Y5eVsb8rIH9TFgIj%40coredump.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 03:55:42PM -0500, Jeff King wrote: > > Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't > > matching like I thought it should?

Oh, one other command you could try: git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir while in the repository in question. I think that would do the same normalization of the path (including resolving symlinks). So that would tell you what Git should be matching against. -Peff ``` ## Joshua J.

Thank you to all who spotted the missing "e". Siiiiigh. I looked at that so many times, and didn't even see it. Sorry to waste your time, and I much appreciate the quick response! j On Monday, December 12, 2022 11:54:48 AM AKST Eric Sunshine wrote: > On Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 3:36 PM Joshua J.
