Controlling signoff address when using gh auth switch

[leecalcote]

Hi, is there a recommended best practice for how to conveniently not only switch between GitHub users (e.g. gh auth switch), but also use that users respective signoff address?

P.S. I searched all prior discussions for the term "signoff" and got zero hits.

Currently no, automatic switching of email was out of scope for auth switch, the primary reason being that we don't handle it generally. When merging a PR you can provide --author-email, or if left out, the platform will use the primary email of your account.
Probably the most relevant reading for sorting that here: #8590 (comment)

You might find some examples of people handling this themselves in the original multi account issue.

It's on our radar to make switching of git configuration more seamless, but there's a reasonable amount of research to do before then.
