gitswitch

Switch between GitHub accounts (work, personal, …) on the fly. One command flips your global git commit identity and the active GitHub gh CLI account, so you can clone and push as the right account without hand-editing config.

Install

cargo install gitswitch

Requires git and the GitHub CLI (gh) on your PATH. You authenticate to GitHub over HTTPS via gh; gitswitch delegates all auth to it.

Usage

gitswitch add work        # interactively prompts for name, email, GitHub username
gitswitch add personal

gitswitch work            # ← switch: sets git identity + `gh auth switch`
gitswitch list            # list profiles; * marks the active one
gitswitch current         # show the current identity and active gh account
gitswitch remove personal

Running gitswitch <alias>:

1. Sets your global user.name / user.email.
2. Runs gh auth switch --user <gh_user> so git clone/push over HTTPS use that account's token automatically.

If the target gh account isn't logged in yet, gitswitch offers to walk you through gh auth login and then retries the switch.

Config

Profiles live in ~/.config/gitswitch/config.toml:

[accounts.work]
name    = "Jane Doe"
email   = "jane@company.com"
gh_user = "jane-work"

[accounts.personal]
name    = "uzii"
email   = "uzii@example.com"
gh_user = "uzii"

You can edit it by hand or manage it with gitswitch add / remove.
