# Git Switch
Switch between Git user configs
## Installation
```bash
cargo install git-switch
```
To install `git-switch`, use the above command. This assumes you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system.
## Usage
1. Create a configuration file in the home directory. Run the following command:
```bash
touch ~/.git-switch.json
```
This will create a file named `.git-switch.json` in your home directory (`~`).
2. Open the `.git-switch.json` file in a text editor and add the desired Git configurations. The file should be in JSON format and contain an array of objects. Each object represents a Git host (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) and includes the following properties:
- `"host"`: The hostname of the Git service.
- `"username"`: The desired username.
- `"email"`: The desired email address.
Here's an example configuration file:
```json
[
{
"host": "github.com",
"username": "ashikmeerankutty",
"email": "[email protected]"
},
{
"host": "gitlab.com",
"username": "ameerankutty",
"email": "[email protected]"
}
]
```
Feel free to add or remove configurations based on your needs.
3. To switch the Git configurations, navigate to the desired directory in your terminal and run the following command:
```bash
git-switch
```
This will read the `.git-switch.json` file from your home directory and update the Git configurations based on the current directory.
## Using ZSH
To automatically change the Git config when the directory changes, follow these steps:
1. Open your Zsh configuration file. Run the following command:
```bash
code ~/.zshrc
```
Replace `code` with the command for your preferred text editor.
2. Add the following code to the `~/.zshrc` file:
```bash
# Run git-switch on directory change
git_switch_on_chpwd() {
git-switch
}
# Set up chpwd hook
add-zsh-hook chpwd git_switch_on_chpwd
```
This code sets up a `chpwd` hook, which is executed whenever the current directory changes. It calls `git-switch` to update the Git configurations accordingly.
3. Save the changes and reload your Zsh configuration:
```bash
source ~/.zshrc
```
Now, whenever you change directories in your terminal, the `git-switch` command will automatically be executed to update the Git configurations based on the current directory.
