git-config-manager

Manage your git config like a pro

About

This small tool allows you to have multiple git configurations. The main reason that I created this tool it wasn't to have multiple git configurations, but instead being able to store the configuration outside of the main .gitconfig file and being able to commit my global .gitconfig to my dotfiles repository.

How does it work?

This is where your configuration will be stored.

~
├── .config
│   └── git-config-manager
│       ├── .gitconfig-main
│       ├── .gitconfig-personal
│       └── .gitconfig-work
├── .gitconfig
└── .vimrc

and your .gitconfig will look like this:

[include]
    path = ~/.config/git-config-manager/.gitconfig-main

[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/personal/"]
    path = ~/.config/git-config-manager/.gitconfig-personal

[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/work/"]
    path = ~/.config/git-config-manager/.gitconfig-work

To test that the correct profile is being used, navigate to one of your git repositories, for example:

cd ~/dev/personal/my-awesome-project

Note: You must be inside a git repository, and the icludeIf path must end on a /.

and run:

git config --get user.email

You should get the email for that specific profile. Test it with multiple profiles.

Usage

This still in development, so the usage might change.

git-config-manager <path-to-config>

Using 1Password

If you are using 1Password, you can inject the credentials using the op cli. Make sure you have the op cli installed and you replace the op path with your own.

op inject -i ./example/config.op.json -o ./example/config.json
