git-profile

Easily switch the config on a git repo between multiple git profiles (work, github-public, private projects).

Installation

npm install -g git-profile
# setup configuration in ~/.gitprofiles
git-profile

Configuration

git-profile uses ~/.gitprofiles to set various git config options. The file is assumed to be contain JSON. For each profile, it expects a set of key value pairs. It basically runs 'git config key value'. If the profile name is 'global', the equivalent command run is 'git config --global key value'

While the profile file is intended to store commonly changing git repo configs like name/email, other git config settings should work.

$ cat ~/.gitprofiles
{
  "work": {
    "user.name": "John Doe",
    "user.email": "john@company.com",
    "core.editor": "intellij"
  },
  "github": {
    "user.name": "jdoe",
    "user.email": "john@gmail.com",
    "core.editor": "atom"
  }
}
