perdjeskon I will NEVER add such a privacy breaking a**hole feature

Switzerland laws don't have an overall prohibition expressed that directly. Moreover the videosurveillance and system surveillance are treated separately even if some common laws apply.

The intent of the surveillance and the communication to employees is more relevant thant the technical means.

> In short, a surveillance system is prohibited if it is intended solely or primarily to monitor the actual behaviour of employees. However, the same system will not be prohibited if it is used for on legitimate reasons, such as ensuring safety or enabling the organisation or planning of work. However, the system chosen must be proportionate to the aim pursued and the employees must be informed in advance

perdjeskon Organizing multiple Git identities

Check the following comment in previous discussion about git capabilities to manage multiple identities to commit, authenticate and sign based on directories or remote repository URL. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36800853

perdjeskon Use multiple Git SSH identities on a single computer

Using git-config it is possible to configure per directory/remote URL different signing keys.

  [includeIf "gitdir:~/work/client1/"]
   path = ~/work/client1/.gitconfig
  [includeIf "gitdir:~/work/client2/"]
   path = ~/work/client2/.gitconfig

 $ cat ~/work/client1/.gitconfig
  [user]
    email = emailforclient1
    name = nameforclient1
    signingKey = 3AA5C34371567BD2
  [core]
    sshCommand = ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_client1


 $ cat ~/work/client2/.gitconfig
  [user]
    email = emailforclient2
    name = nameforclient2
    signingKey = 4BB6D45482678BE3
  [core]
    sshCommand = ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_client2

includeIf directive supports as well conditions based on configured remote URL. [1]

  [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://client1domain.com/**"]
    path = ~/work/client1/.gitconfig
  [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://client2domain.com/**"]
    path = ~/work/client2/.gitconfig
