@jsumners/git-user-config v2.3.0

Do you use different user names and/or email for your github projects, work projects, private personal projects?

Then you use git config a lot.

With git-user-config you can save these different users globally and configure a new repo with a single command using record identifiers. No more misspelled email addresses and user names...

Install

npm install -g git-user-config

Add User record for later use

git-user-config --add

Then follow instructions

Add new user record

Identifier: personal

Enter property names like `user.email`
Property name (none to end): user.name
Value: Joe Schmo
Property name (none to end): user.email
Value: joe@example.com
Property name (none to end):

record saved

Configure git repo to use user record

git-user-config --set user1

This will call git config --local for each property of the user1 configuration.

$ git config -l | grep user
user.name=user 1
user.email=user_1@domain.com

List all user records

git-user-config --list

{
  "user1": {
    "user.name": "user 1",
    "user.email": "user_1@domain.com"
  },
  "user2": {
    "user.name": "user 2",
    "user.email": "user_2@domain.com"
  }
}

Update a user record

git-user-config --update user1

This will interactively allow updating of the user1 record. The process works the same as --add user1. Any existing properties specified will be overwritten, or removed if the new value is ~del~, and new properties will be merged in.

Remove a user record

git-user-config --remove user1
