Git Profile Switcher (git-ps)

A command-line tool for managing multiple Git configurations. Switch between different Git user profiles easily for work, personal projects, or different organizations.

• 🔄 Switch between multiple Git profiles quickly
• 📝 Interactive profile creation and management
• 📋 List all available profiles
• 🎯 Show current active profile
• 🗑️ Remove profiles when no longer needed
• 💾 Persistent configuration storage

git clone <repository-url>
cd git-ps
cargo build --release

The binary will be available at target/release/git-ps.

To use git-ps from anywhere, add the binary to your PATH or copy it to a directory already in your PATH:

cp target/release/git-ps /usr/local/bin/

git-ps list

git-ps current

# Interactive selection
git-ps use

# Direct switch (if profile exists)
git-ps use work-profile

git-ps add

This will interactively prompt you for:

• Profile name
• Git user name
• Git email address

# Interactive selection
git-ps remove

# Direct removal (if profile exists)
git-ps remove old-profile

Profiles are stored in your system's configuration directory:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/git-ps/
• Linux: ~/.config/git-ps/
• Windows: %APPDATA%\git-ps\

The configuration file is named profiles.yaml and contains all your saved Git profiles.

1. Add your work profile:

   git-ps add
   # Enter: work, John Doe, john.doe@company.com

2. Add your personal profile:

   git-ps add
   # Enter: personal, John Doe, john@personal.email

3. Switch between profiles:

   git-ps use work      # Switch to work profile
   git-ps use personal  # Switch to personal profile

4. Check current profile:

   git-ps current
