Git plugin that allows you to save multiple user profiles and set them as project defaults
### Why?
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.
## Installing
### Compile
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.
### Download
Alternately, you can download the latest release for your platform from [github](https://github.com/gesquive/git-user/releases/latest).
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`.
### Homebrew
This app is also avalable from this [homebrew tap](https://github.com/gesquive/homebrew-tap). Just install the tap and then the app will be available.
```shell
$ brew tap gesquive/tap
$ brew install git-user
```
## Usage
If 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.
```console
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 exit
```
Optionally, a hidden debug flag is available in case you need additional output.
```console
Hidden Flags:
-D, --debug Include debug statements in log output
```
## QuickStart
```console
$ cd /path/to/git/project
# add a work profile for Henry
$ git user add work "Dr. Henry Jekyll" [email protected]
Added profile 'work'
# add a personal profile for Edward
$ git user add home "Edward Hyde" [email protected]
Added profile 'home'
# list out our saved profiles
$ git user list
Global Profile:
User: Henry
Saved Profiles:
home: Edward Hyde
work: Dr. Henry Jekyll
# set the current git repository user to the home profile
$ git user set home
The user for the 'project' repository has been set too 'Edward Hyde '
# list profiles again, notice how the current repository profile is now set
$ git user
Project Profile:
Path: /path/to/git/project
User: Edward Hyde
Saved Profiles:
