You can also filter based on the remote URL! I find this much more useful than the location of the directory on disk.

  ; include only if a remote with the given URL exists (note
  ; that such a URL may be provided later in a file or in a
  ; file read after this file is read, as seen in this example)
  [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://example.com/\*"]
      path = foo.inc
  [remote "origin"]
      url = https://example.com/git*

Handy, didn't know about that, thanks for sharing!

The reason for doing it by location is probably because my directory structure for projects look something like this:

/home/user/projects/organization/project

so github.com/victorb/neat-project would go into /home/user/projects/victor/neat-project

So my solution is tailored to that structure I suppose :)

Also learning the power of includeIf

At home (I mean a personal box I for personal project and some other public contributions), my directory structure is like:

    ~/sources/forge/organisation/project

where `sources` has the same meaning as your `/home/user/projects` ; and your example will end up here to

    ~/sources/github.com/victorb/neat-project

The structure used has some great influence on solution adopted I think :)

Great tip!

But how could I also select the config for an initial clone of a repo based on the repository address?
