git-profiled is a powerful, user-friendly Command Line Interface (CLI) tool designed for developers who manage multiple Git profiles. It acts as a transparent Git proxy, enforcing local identity configuration for each repository, ensuring you always commit and add with the correct identity. Unconfigured repositories will be unable to commit or add until a profile is selected.

This tool seamlessly integrates with your Git workflow, simply forwarding your command-line instructions to the real Git.

• Enforces local identity configuration, eliminating mistaken commits with the wrong identity.
• Automatic profile selection based on the current repository.
• Intuitive command-line interface for managing and switching between different Git profiles.
• Cross-platform support: macOS, Linux, and Windows.

brew update
brew tap saga420/git-profiled https://github.com/saga420/git-profiled
brew install git-profiled

Pre-compiled binaries are available to download from the Releases page.

Before using git-profiled, you need to create a .git_profiled_config file in your home directory. This file should be in TOML format, and contains one or more profiles with their respective names and email addresses:

[profile1]
name = "Your Name"
email = "[email protected]"

[profile2]
name = "Your Other Name"
email = "[email protected]"

Once the configuration file is set up, you can use git-profiled in place of your usual git command. It will prompt you to choose a profile the first time you make a commit in a new repository.

To make git-profiled the default git command, you can set up an alias in your shell configuration file (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.). Here is an example for a bash shell:

echo "alias git='git-profiled'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

For Zsh users, replace .bashrc with .zshrc.
