git-auto-set-config

Working with git repos where you can have multiple identities (like one for work, one for personal projects, etc.) can be painful. This extension automatically prompts you to set a local user.email, user.name, and any additional git config keys for each project you open in VS Code that doesn't have them configured yet.

Features

• Prompts to set local git config when opening a project that has none configured.
• Convenient selector of previously used configs, displayed as Name <email>.
• Support for additional git config keys beyond user.email and user.name (e.g. core.autocrlf, commit.gpgsign).
• Ability to ignore specific project roots so the extension won't prompt for them.
• Multi-root workspace support — all folders are checked, with a folder picker in commands.

Commands

Command	Description
git-auto-set-config: Get Config	Show the current local git config for this project
git-auto-set-config: Set Config	Manually set the local git config for this project
git-auto-set-config: Ignore current project root	Stop prompting for this project
git-auto-set-config: Unignore current project root	Resume prompting for this project

Release Notes

1.0.1

• Fix: command IDs and configuration namespace corrected, restoring command palette integration and config persistence
• Fix: pressing Escape during config input now silently cancels
• Fix: polling no longer opens a second prompt while the user is already responding to one
• Fix: all four commands now work correctly in multi-root workspaces
• Improve: profile picker shows Name <email> labels; email field validates format inline

1.0.0

• Forked and rebranded from git-autoconfig
• Support for setting additional git config keys (e.g. core.autocrlf, commit.gpgsign) beyond user.email and user.name
• Fix: configs with identical email/name but different extra keys are now treated as distinct profiles
• Fix: extra keys from a saved profile are verified on each check; missing keys trigger re-prompting
• Fix: replaced deprecated vscode.workspace.rootPath with workspaceFolders for multi-root workspace support
