CI codecov Go Report Card License: MIT Release

Switch between multiple git identities with a single command.

Do you juggle work, personal, and open-source git accounts? git-profile lets you define named identity profiles and apply them per-repo or globally — so you never accidentally push a personal commit with your work email again.

Features

  • Named profiles — store user.name, user.email, SSH key, and GPG signing per identity
  • Per-repo or global — apply any profile locally or to ~/.gitconfig
  • Auto-apply via git hooks — prepare-commit-msg and pre-push hooks enforce the right identity before every commit and push
  • Interactive picker — numbered menu when you can't remember the ID
  • Import existing identity — bootstrap a profile from your current git config in one command
  • Edit, rename, remove — full profile lifecycle management
  • Shell completions — bash, zsh, and fish
  • Zero runtime dependencies — single static binary, no runtime required

Quick example

# Add your profiles
git-profile add --id work     --name "Jane Dev" --email jane@company.com
git-profile add --id personal --name "Jane Doe" --email jane@example.com \
                               --ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_personal

# Apply a profile to the current repo
git-profile use work

# See what's active
