Dependencies:

• /bin/sh
• git

Easy method for managing multiple git identities without changing your normal git paths/commands/configs/etc.

Edit the script as necessary to include your preferred ssh keys, names, and emails.

You can further edit the script to include swapping by profile name, but I will simply switch between 2 identities.

NOTE: This script uses git config --global user.name and git config --global user.email. If you prefer, feel free to alter the script to not use the --global flag.

Requirements:

Included in ~/.ssh/config:

# BEGIN GIT
Host github.com
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile /path/to/rsa_private_key
# END GIT

(or whatever git server you are using - just make sure the comments are there.)
