# `cgu`
[][Crates.io Link]
Manage multiple git configurations
Inspired by [Git-User-Switch](https://github.com/geongeorge/Git-User-Switch).
## :warning: Archival Notice
I've switched to just using [`includeIf`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-includeIfltconditiongtpath)
in my `.gitconfig`. Honestly, this works a lot better for me than having to constantly switch users via this command.
## Installation
```bash
# this will install the executable `cgu` and `git-change-user`
cargo install change-git-user
# enable only the cli
cargo install --no-default-features --features=cli change-git-user
# enable only prompts
cargo install --no-default-features --features=prompts change-git-user
```
## Features
- Switch `user.name` and `user.email` config
- Assign an optional `user.signingKey` to the config
- Give the config a name to remember it by (e.g. "Work" or "Personal")
- Uses `git2` to discover a repository and manipulate its config
## Usage
***NOTE*** You can use `cgu` and `git change-user` interchangeably.
### Prompts
```bash
# This will spawn prompts to guide you through managing user configurations
cgu
```
### CLI
If you don't want use use prompts, you can use subcommands instead.
The subcommands are:
- `add`
- `select`
- `delete`
- `view`
#### Examples
```bash
# view CLI options
cgu --help
# view subcommand help
cgu --help
# Add a config with the name "My Config"
# Defaults to the user.name value ("My Name" in this example) if --name is not passed
cgu add --name "My Config" "My Name" [email protected]
# View all configs
cgu view --all
# Select the new config
cgu select "My Config"
# Delete the new config
cgu delete "My Config"
```
