Git Profile switcher

Git Profile allows you to switch between multiple user profiles in git repositories

Installation

If you are a macOS user, you can use Homebrew:

brew install dotzero/tap/git-profile

Prebuilt binaries

Download the binary from the releases page and place it under $PATH directory.

Building from source

If your operating system does not have a binary release, but does run Go, you can build it from the source.

go get -u github.com/dotzero/git-profile

The binary will then be installed to $GOPATH/bin (or your $GOBIN).

Usage

Adds an entry to a profile or updates an existing profile

git profile add home user.name dotzero
git profile add home user.email "mail@mail.com"
git profile add home user.signingkey AAAAAAAA

If no arguments are provided, add starts an interactive mode:

git profile add

It will ask for the profile name and values for user.name, user.email, and user.signingkey. Leaving a field empty skips writing that field for a new profile. For an existing profile, the current values are prefilled and pressing Enter keeps them unchanged. Press Esc or Ctrl+C to cancel interactive mode.

Displays a list of available profiles

git profile list

Delete a profile or a specific key from a profile

git profile del
git profile del home
git profile del home user.email

When called without arguments, del opens an interactive profile selector and removes the selected profile entirely.

Applies the selected profile entries to the current git repository

git profile use home

# Under the hood it runs following commands:
# git config --local user.name dotzero
# git config --local user.email "me@dotzero.ru"
# git config --local user.signingkey AAAAAAAA

If no profile name is provided, an interactive selector will appear to choose a profile

git profile use

Export a profile in JSON format

git profile export home > home.json

Import profile from JSON format

cat home.json | xargs -0 git profile import home
