Are you juggling between work and personal Git accounts? Tired of manually editing your git config file? Say hello to GitHotswap - your new favorite Git profile management tool!

The Problem 🤔

As developers, many of us maintain separate Git identities:

  • Work email for company projects
  • Personal email for open-source contributions
  • Maybe even a third one for that secret side project? 😉

Switching between these profiles has always been a hassle, requiring manual edits to your Git config or complex shell scripts.

Enter GitHotswap ✨

Key Features

  • 🚀 Quick profile switching with an interactive menu
  • 💼 Create and manage multiple Git profiles effortlessly
  • 🔍 View your current active profile at any time

  • 🛡️ Works with local Git repositories
  • 🏞 Native Windows support (with more platforms coming soon!)
