A git extension to allow you manage multiple git profiles on your workstation. User profiles can have independent configurations. They can also share configurations.

Git-profile-manager can be installed using the python pip tool.

pip3 install git-profile-manager

# pip install git-profile-manager

## Upgrade
pip3 install git-profile-manager --upgrade

NOTE: After installation, your current git config will be used as a shared configuration. All users inherit from the configuration

To create a profile

  git create-profile 

  git create-profile -e [email protected] -n "Foo Bar"

To Configure profile:

  # Sets up ssh for that user
  git config --global core.sshCommand "ssh -i /full/path/to/id_a/id_rsa"

NOTE: Git Profile Manager stores the user config as global config. Hence all configurations must carry the --global flag. That means running config without the --global flag creates a local config that overrides values set on user config

  # Sets up ssh for that user
  # Set config for present repository
  # This Config overrides the user profile created config value for core.sshCommand
  git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i /full/path/to/id_a/id_rsa"

All initial global configurations are added to the user config. For conflicts, the user's config override the global config.

To add configurations that would be shared by all users:

  git global-config core.sshCommand "ssh -i /full/path/to/id_rsa"

User's configuration always override global configuration

Applies a profile to a particular directory. Once applied, any repository within the directory uses the config.

  # Applies current user profile 
  git apply-profile /home/user/company

  # Applies specified user profile
  git apply-profile /home/user/personal -u personal
