These instructions assume you have a personal and work email. The default email will be personal, and all repos in a folder ~/work will be commited to with your work email. Change ~/work in the details below to whatever you want (ie. your company's name).

Create ~/.gitconfig with the following contents:

[user]
name = <your name>
email = <personal email>
[includeIf "gitdir:~/work/"]
  path = ~/work/.gitconfig_include

Create and move into the work folder:
