# gitaccount

[](https://crates.io/crates/zerompk)
## Overview
gitaccount is a CLI tool for managing the user names and email addresses configured in git config.
When managing separate git accounts for work, university, or other purposes, there is a risk of committing with the wrong name or email address. gitaccount makes it possible to switch these settings with a single command.

$ cargo install gitaccount
```

1. Create an account
```bash
$ gitaccount create
✔ Profile name · foo
✔ git user.name · foo
✔ git user.email · foo@example.com
Success created account `foo`
```
2. Switch accounts
```bash
$ git account switch foo
Switched `foo` account

```
