If your global git config has commit signing enabled by default, but you don't want to sign commits for the locally

configured account, you can disable it with:
 | 
			
		||||
 |

```bash

git config --local commit.gpgsign false

Git matches the hosts directly, without considering if they come from the same domain, so if subdomain differs, it will not register as a match.
