Managing multiple Git identities

This gist exists to display how I manage my Git configuration for different identities (e.g. personal and work identities) using the default configuration chain in Git.

My global git configuration is stored [in my dotiles repository][dotfiles], which is public, but includes no work-related git configuration. Instead, that lives in and is managed by other files on my system, which are not synced to that public dotfiles repository. With just a few small configuration changes,

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# assign "$1" and "$2", which are the first and second positional arguments,
	# as items 0 and 1 in the `arr` array.
	arr=("$1" "$2")

	printf "\n\nthe final values are: %s\n" "${arr[*]}"
