You ever have multiple Git identities and you need to switch between them. This program stores git identities in a database and lets you switch between them with a short ID name so you don't have to repeat git config --global commands every time you want to commit with another git identity.
This program will be published to crates.io, so to install the program, run
cargo install gitdentity
This program comes with a CLI manager for managing your identities. You can run it by not giving the program any arguments. Here is what the CLI looks like. v1.0.1 lets you use letters instead of numbers for input. The numbers are still supported if you want to use them.
Gitdentity
Current Identities:
------------------
1 | example | Example Name | example@example.net
2 | example2 | Example Person | example.person@example.net
a) Add an Identity
d) Delete an Identity
e) Exit this program
> :
You can add an identity with 1 and it will write the identity to the SQLite database. You can delete an identity with 2 and it will delete the identity out of the database. You can exit the program with 3.
When you give the command an argument, it querys the database and writes the identity name and email to the .gitconfig file located in your Home directory.
gitdentity example
And it prints out this message
I have wrote the example identity to /home/example/.gitconfig
rustqlite requires you to have SQLite installed on your computer by default. If you don't want to use your local copy and want to use a bundled copy, run this command when installing gitdentity.
cargo install gitdentity --features=bundled
