Git global config for specific repositories?

Question

Meaning, having something like a per repo section [repo_url] that overrides global(not for a specific repo) options.

[core]
    filemode = false
    editor = notepad
[repo "example.com/repo1.git"]
    [core]
        filemode = true
        # editor = notepad
[repo "example.com/repo2.git"]
    [core]
        editor = vim
        # filemode = false

Is possible in git?

Note: I'm making a lot of clones(git clone) of repos which I would specify in such a global config

Answer 1

local and conditional configs will work for your title question, but there's no condition based on what's in a repo's remote urls. Considering local clones that idea immediately starts looking fragile and confusing.

It might make more sense to have a condition based on whether or not a particular commit exists in a repository, but there's no indication in your question what the motive is here. If you'll explain what situation you're in that prompts this question, it might get more helpful answers.

Answer 2

Solution: includeIf (big thanks to @phd)

global config

[core]
  filemode = false
  editor = notepad
[includeIf "gitdir/i:repo1/"]
  path = path_to_repo1_git_config  
[includeIf "gitdir/i:repo2/"]
  path = path_to_repo2_git_config  

repo1_git_config

[core]
  filemode = true

repo2_git_config

[core]
  editor = vim

That way any repository to which repo1/repo2 is a parent(not immediate) directory will have respective config included. Note the slash at the end of each `includeIf (read docs).
