Quickly set user.name and user.email for a repository, based on a config file

git-identity

Quickly set user.name and user.email for a repository, based on a config file. Available on pypi.

Installation

Recommended installation is with pipx:

pipx install git-identity

Autocompletion

Autocompletion is done with argcomplete. Install, and add the following to your shell's startup scripts:

eval "$(register-python-argcomplete git-identity)"

Configuration

This project will look for git-identity.json in the XDG config folder (typically $HOME/.config/).

{
    "identities" : {
        "<alias>": {
            "name": "Alex Ample",
            "email": "[e-mail]"
        }
    }
}

alias is what is used when invoking the command.

Usage

After installation, you may use this as a git subcommand (though argcomplete only works when you invoke it as git-identity)

git identity <alias>
