Switching Work vs Personal Identity

This setup uses two related mechanisms:

• git identity switching via includeIf (based on working directory)
• password-store switching via PASSWORD_STORE_DIR

Preconditions

• Dotfiles are applied.
• On non-work machines, ~/.password-store-work exists if you use wpass.

Steps

1. For git identity switching, use directory placement (~/work/... vs personal paths).
2. For password-store switching:

wpass
ppass

Git Identity Switching

On non-work machines, repos under ~/work/ load a secondary git config.

Relevant files:

• home/private_readonly_dot_gitconfig.tmpl (primary, installed as ~/.gitconfig)
• home/work/private_dot_gitconfig.tmpl (work override)

In practice: if you clone a repo under ~/work/..., commits and SSH identity selection switch automatically.

Password Store Switching

On non-work machines, fish defines helpers:

• wpass sets PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.password-store-work
• ppass unsets PASSWORD_STORE_DIR (defaulting back to ~/.password-store)

Setup script:

• home/.chezmoiscripts/run_once_after_05-setup-pass-managers.fish.tmpl

Verification

Git:

git config --get user.email
git config --get core.sshCommand

Password store:

echo "$PASSWORD_STORE_DIR"
pass ls

Rollback / Undo

• Reset password-store selection:

ppass

• Move repo out of ~/work/ (or into it) to change includeIf matching.
• Re-check effective config:

git config --show-origin --get user.email
