E.g.:\n\n- Work profile\n\n```\nName: Jane Doe\nEmail: janedoe@work\nPGP Key: AAAA1234\n```\n\n- Personal profile\n\n```\nName: Jane Doe\nEmail: janedoe@home\nPGP Key: BBBB5678\n```\n\nIt could be a nuisance to switch between profiles while working on different projects. In addition, it is common to forget what profile you are using when you start commit in a new repository, and rewrite your story can be a bigger nuisance.\n\nThis tool aims to facilitate the configuration of the profile to be used in each project, an agile exchange between the different profiles and a way to control the profiles that you are using in your machine.\n\n\n## What is a Gitcher profile?\n\nA profile is a git configuration data set that includes:\n\n- Name.\n- Email.\n- PGP Key (optional).\n- GPG autosigning preference (activate it do that every commit will be signed).\n\nIt is identified by a subject tittle like \"work\" or \"university\" that have to be unique.\n\n\n## Saved data\n\nThe `~/.cherfile` file contains the saved profiles data.\n\n\n## To set up\n\nPlease, read the [install guide](./INSTALL.md).\n\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\n- [Santiago Fernández González](https://github.com/santiagofdezg), for an effusive reception of the tool, being the highest tester of Gitcher after its own author.\n- [Arda Kosar](https://github.com/abkosar), for his work on issue [#3](https://github.com/glezseoane/gitcher/issues/3).\n- [Mat Kelly](https://github.com/machawk1), for his work with documentation misprints.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbglezseoane%2Fgitcher","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbglezseoane%2Fgitcher","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbglezseoane%2Fgitcher/lists"}
