git-persona
Fork of wosc/git-persona (unmaintained since 2018).
git-persona provides an easy way to configure the git username on a per repository basis. It is inspired by the mercurial extension hg-persona.
git-persona requires Python 3.3+ and can be installed from PyPI:
$ pip install git-persona
Or manually:
$ git clone https://github.com/bastienm/git-persona
$ cd git-persona && python setup.py install.
You can configure invidual personas in your ~/.gitconfig as follows:
[persona "home]
name = Firstname Lastname
email = firstname@home.domain
# other user.* setting
[persona "work]
name = Firstname Lastname
email = firstname.lastname@work.domain
signingkey = 000AAA111BBB
and you'll probably want to set up an alias like this:
[alias]
persona = !git-persona
Then you can switch the persona of a repository:
$ git persona -n home
$ git persona -n work
And list all known personas:
$ git persona
