git-user-config's Introduction

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 the user record id. 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

The follow instructions

Add new user record

id: user1
name: user 1
email: [email protected]

record saved

Configure git repo to use user record

git-user-config --set user1

This will call git config to set user.name and user.email

$ git config -l | grep user
user.name=user 1
[email protected]

List all user records

git-user-config --list

{
  "user1": {
    "name": "user 1",
    "email": "[email protected]"
  },
  "user2": {
    "name": "user 2",
    "email": "[email protected]"
  }
}

Remove a user record

git-user-config --remove user1
