# Git Auth

This tool helps you easily switch between multiple GitHub accounts by automating login/logout using GitHub CLI and Git aliases.

## Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up the Git Auth on your system:

### 1. Clone this repository:

To download the tool, clone the repository using the following command:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/priest-2105/git-auth.git

```

## Run the setup script:

Navigate to the cloned repository and execute the setup script to configure everything:

```bash

cd git-account-switcher

bash setup.sh

```

## Use the following commands to switch accounts:

Once the setup is complete, you can use the following commands to switch between GitHub accounts:

To login 

```bash

git account-login

```

To logout 

```bash

git account-logout

```

This will use the GitHub CLI to prompt for a login (either via web or the CLI directly).

## Requirements

Ensure that the following are installed and available on your system:

Git: The version control tool.

GitHub CLI (gh): Required for handling GitHub account logins.

## How It Works

Logout: Removes GitHub credentials from the Windows Credential Manager (or system credential storage).

Login: Initiates the GitHub CLI login process, allowing you to sign in to a different account.
