Git plugin that allows you to save multiple user profiles and set them as project defaults
I created this because I have multiple emails that I use for work, personal, and open source projects and I would find myself checking into a git project with the wrong profile. Instead of manually changing the git config for a project every time, this was much easier.
This project requires go1.18+ to compile. Just run go install github.com/gesquive/git-user@latest and the executable should be built for you automatically in your $GOPATH.
Optionally you can run make install to build and copy the executable to /usr/local/bin/ with correct permissions.
Alternately, you can download the latest release for your platform from github.
Once you have an executable, make sure to copy it somewhere on your path like /usr/local/bin or C:/Program Files/.
If on a *nix/mac system, make sure to run chmod +x /path/to/git-user.
This app is also avalable from this homebrew tap. Just install the tap and then the app will be available.
$ brew tap gesquive/tap
$ brew install git-userIf the git-user executable is placed on the path, it can be used as a git command. For example, you would be able to run the command git user list to list all of the configured users.
git-user lets you quickly switch between multiple git user profiles
Usage:
git-user [flags] [command]
Available Commands:
add Add a new profile
del Delete a profile
edit Edit a profile
list List all saved profiles
rm Remove a profile from the current project
set Set the profile for the current project
Flags:
-c, --config string config file (default "~/.git-profiles")
-g, --git-path string The git executable to use (default "git")
-p, --path string The project to get/set the user (default "$CWD")
-V, --version Show the version and exitOptionally, a hidden debug flag is available in case you need additional output.
Hidden Flags:
-D, --debug Include debug statements in log output$ cd /path/to/git/project
