gprofile

Quickly switch and manage multiple git profiles.

Demo

Motivation

There are many similar tools that offer more features and look prettier than this. The main difference between them is this has zero dependencies and my focus is on reducing compile times and binary size.

The resulting binary building in --release mode is 456K only (on my machine).

Installation

If you have rust toolchain installed, you can just do:

cargo install gprofile

Alternatively, you can download pre-build binaries from the release page to you $PATH.

Note: Resulting binary's name is git-profile.

Usage

# list available profiles
git profile --list

# use `work` profile
git profile --use=work

# delete `work` profile
git profile --delete=work

# edit `personal` profile
git profile --edit=personal
