Switch-context

This project was originally created by Dara

Installation

Install Go from the official website

clone this repository and build the executable. Then move it to your bin folder

git clone https://github.com/mchirico/switch-context.git
cd switch-context
go mod tidy
go build -o switch-context
mv ./switch-context ~/bin/switch-context

add the following snippet to your .bashrc

# switch-context
function sc() {
    if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
	switch-context  -f ~/.switchcontext/switchcontext
	return
    fi
    switch-context  $1 -f ~/.switchcontext/switchcontext >/dev/null
    source ~/.switchcontext/switchcontext
}
source ~/.switchcontext/switchcontext

This allows the environment variable changes to persist in the shell session.

Configuration

create a folder in your home directory named .switchcontext and a file inside named profiles.yaml

for example:

Don't use "~" as home in profiles.yaml. Instead write out the full path.
