Git ID

Manage emails and names for git.

Summary

This is a CLI tool for storing the git identity info user.name and user.email, and setting the info in repos individually. It should be of some use to programmers who need to manage multiple identities across multiple git repos. From a security point of view, it has the advantage of making it easier to manage multiple identities, but the drawback of storing them all in a single file, which will allow anyone who reads it to infer that all of the identities in the file are the same person.

Gitid stores ids in a .gitid dotfile in the home directory.

Example:

[u gitid]$ gitid list
Git IDs:
0. Email: bobby@humans.com
   Name : Bobby
[u gitid]$ gitid add -e lizzie@lizards.net -n Lizzie
Git IDs:
0. Email: bobby@humans.com
   Name : Bobby
1. Email: lizzie@lizards.net
   Name : Lizzie
[u gitid]$ gitid set 0 
[u gitid]$ gitid remove 1
Git IDs:
0. Email: bobby@humans.com
   Name : Bobby
