~/.*.local

The ~/.gitconfig.local file will be automatically included after the configurations from ~/.gitconfig, thus, allowing its content to overwrite or add to the existing Git configurations.

Note: Use ~/.gitconfig.local to store sensitive information such as the Git user credentials, e.g.:

[commit]
    # Sign commits using GPG.
    # https://help.github.com/articles/signing-commits-using-gpg/
    gpgsign = true

[user]
    name = <name>
    email = <[email protected]>
    signingkey = XXXXXXXX

# https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials
# https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/resolving-a-merge-conflict-using-the-command-line
# https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh
# [credential]
#     helper = cache

Note: Use ~/.zshrc.local or bash.local for shells.
