This command-line tool allows you to define a set of configuration profiles that can be applied on a per-repository basis. The main use case is to swap the user details and signing key, but it's not limited to just that.
We recommend installing the tool with Pipx.
$ pipx install git-profile
In ~/.gitconfig, prefixing section names with <Profile>. assigns them to the specified profile.
Git-profile can use that information to determine which profiles there are and what configuration
is associated with it.
Example:
[Work.user]
email = "me@work.com"
signingkey = DEADBEEFDEADBEEFRun git profile to list available profiles. The current profile will be marked with a star. Note
that the default profile is always present and represents your normal Git configuration without
profile overrides.
$ git profile
* default
Work
With git profile <Profile> you can switch to the specified profile.
$ git profile Work
Switched to profile "Work".
The changes will be applied to .git/config of the current repository.
You can add the --diff option to print a diff of the applied config changes.
You can leave the [user] section of your default configuration empty. That way Git will prompt
you to configure it when trying to commit. Simply run git profile <Profile> after that and
commit again.
