git pair sp js
user.name=Josh Susser & Sam Pierson
[email protected]

# .pairs - configuration for 'git pair'

  eh: Edward Hieatt
  js: Josh Susser; jsusser
  sf: Serguei Filimonov; serguei

$ git project pivots

This script sets the user account you will use to access repos hosted on github.com. It creates a symlink from id_github_current to id_github_pivotal<project>, which switches the SSH key you are currently using to access GitHub repos. Make sure you have the following lines in your .ssh/config file:

Host github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile /Users/pivotal/.ssh/id_github_current
