Author here! I'm a freelancer working for multiple agencies at the moment. And One of the requirements was that I use the agency email for all commits.

So I made this as a sugar for git config user.email [email protected]

I find that creating a separate user account on my system for each client works much better for this kind of thing than trying to configure every application with multiple identities.

More isolation, less accidents. I use this way too.
