Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install git-profile-cli

From Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tux86/git-profile-cli.git
   cd git-profile-cli
   

2. Install the package:

   pip install .
   

Usage

After installation, you can use Git profile cli with the git-profile command:

List all profiles

git-profile list

Display the current profile

git-profile current

Add a new profile

git-profile add

You'll be prompted to enter the profile details interactively.

Modify an existing profile

git-profile modify <profile_name>

Select a profile

git-profile [select] [profile_name]

You can use this command in several ways:

• git-profile select work: Directly selects the 'work' profile
• git-profile select: Prompts you to choose a profile interactively
• git-profile: Same as git-profile select, prompts you to choose a profile interactively

Examples:

git-profile select work  # Directly selects the 'work' profile
git-profile select  # Prompts you to choose a profile interactively
git-profile  # Also prompts you to choose a profile interactively

Note: Running git-profile without any command is equivalent to git-profile select and will prompt you to choose a profile interactively.

Delete a profile

git-profile delete

You'll be prompted to select the profile to delete.

Specify a custom configuration file

You can use a custom configuration file by using the --config or -c option:

git-profile -c /path/to/custom/config.yaml <command>

Configuration

Git-Profile-Cli uses a YAML configuration file to store profile information. By default, it's located at ~/.git-profile/config.yaml. Each profile in the configuration file has the following structure:

profiles:
  - name: work
    user_name: John Doe
    user_email: [e-mail]
    ssh_key_path: ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work
  - name: personal
    user_name: John Doe
    user_email: [e-mail]
    ssh_key_path: ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal
