Conclusion

  • Run git init in the parent directory

Context

Referring to articles such as the ones above,

[user]
  [includeIf "gitdir:~/private/"]
    path = ~/.gitconfig-private
  [includeIf "gitdir:~/works/"]
    path = ~/.gitconfig-works

even if you configure it separately like this,

git config user.name //no response

no response is returned.

Solution

  • In the case of gitdir:~/works/, move to the works folder and run git init there.
    • Running git init makes includeIf start functioning.
