git-profile is a CLI tool that offers a handy way to manage git user profiles.
With git-profile, you can bundle user.name, user.email, and, optionally, user.signingkey into a named "profile."
You can create as many profiles as you wish and easily switch between them by key.
You can import your existing user config and name it as a new profile:
sh
$ git profile import
Found a user config as follows:
user.name=Git Smith
user.email=smith@work.com
✔ Enter profile name · work
✨ Successfully imported a git user as work
Alternatively, you can also create new profiles manually as follows:
sh
$ git profile new
✔ Enter profile name · github
✔ Enter user name (user.name) · Git Smith
✔ Enter email (user.email) · smith@github.com
✔ Do you want to set signing key (user.signingkey) · no
✨ Created a new profile github
The list subcommand gives you an overview of your profiles. * indicates which profile is currently being activated.
sh
$ git profile list
* work
github
To switch between profiles, use the apply subcommand:
sh
$ git profile apply github
✨ Successfully applied github
Under the hood, this is equivalent to running the following command:
sh
$ git config user.name "Git Smith"
$ git config user.email smith@github.com
git-profile supports the config level flags (--local, --global, --system, --worktree, and --file) out of the box.
sh
cargo install gitprofile
(The actual executable will be named git-profile.)
```
