Yeah, that's what I added to my config recently just for signing key
selection. I'm using direnv[1] for some time now to switch between
different "profiles" (more than just Git settings) by just setting
some environment variables and it was nice to have everything in one
place. That's why I disliked adding the includeIf to my .gitconfig.

Thanks anyway,
Marco

If you insist on using environment variables there is:
GIT_CONFIG_KEY_<n>
GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_<n>

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config

A bit clunky in my opinion but you can set any config variable via env vars:

e.g.:
GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=user.name GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=testing
