saint-peter
git ssh key-store manager
Why & How
Having multiple github accounts is not supported easily by the git cli tool, this tool provides that functionality.
It stores keyname, username, email and ssh-key, when switching key it will also switch the username and email, so that you won't push using the wrong account.
