gitpersona

We wear many hats from day to day. GitPersona manages them all.

What?

This utility allows you to choose which identity you want to use when cloning a new repo to your PC. If you work for multiple organizations, or have personal/organization projects, this should come in handy.

How?

We wrap a command around Git. When clone is used, we run our utility first. Then once the repo is clone, these commands are automatically executed:

git config user.name "One of you identities"
git config user.email "[email protected]"

What you need?

Python 3 and the packages

• PyYAML

• PtPython

• GitPython

To install them run:

 pip3 install gitpython pyyaml ptpython

How to use:

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/andersonpem/gitpersona.git $HOME/.gitpersona

Run this to add it to your path and have a git wrapper:

# If you use Bash
echo "source $HOME/.gitpersona/gitwrapper" >> $HOME/.bashrc
# If you use ZSH
echo "source $HOME/.gitpersona/gitwrapper" >> $HOME/.zshrc

# If yo use Windows, you should be ashamed of yourself :P
# Run this to refresh your terminal's rc:
source $HOME/.bashrc # or for ZSH:
source $HOME/.zshrc 

Add your first identity:

gitpersona-manager add "Andy" "[email protected]"
# Gitpersona will return:
Identity 'Andy' added.

Now clone a repo and you'll be asked for an identity. The identity selection has autocomplete with tab.
