Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Git-Switch

A utility to switch between different .gitconfig files.

This utility is based on and borrows much of the underlying code from NPMRC, which does the same thing but for .npmrc files.

Overview

If you've ever had to work in various environments with different proxy settings, or you have different github accounts for different projects, it can be a pain to constantly adjust your .gitconfig file manually. This utility allows you to maintain multiple named versions of your .gitconfig file and switch between them seamlessly with a simple terminal command. It also tries to protect you from yourself by making sure you don't accidentally overwrite a .gitconfig file that you actually want to keep.

Installation

npm install -g @joebochill/git-switch

Usage

gitswitch --help

gitswitch

  A utility to switch between different .gitconfig files.

Usage:
  gitswitch                 list all profiles
  gitswitch [name]          change gitconfig profile (uses fuzzy matching)
  gitswitch -c [name]       create a new gitconfig profile called name

Initialisation

Calling gitswitch without arguments creates an ~/.gitconfigs/ directory if it doesn't exist, and copies your current ~/.gitconfig as the 'default' .gitconfig profile.

gitswitch
Creating /Users/joe/.gitconfigs
Making /Users/joe/.gitconfig the default gitconfig file
Activating .gitconfig 'default'

Create a new .gitconfig profile

gitswitch -c newprofile
Removing old .gitconfig (/home/joe/.gitconfigs/default)
Activating .gitconfig 'newprofile'

A blank profile will be created.

List available .gitconfig profiles

gitswitch 
Available gitconfigs:
    
* default
  work

Switch to a specific .gitconfig

gitswitch work
Removing old .gitconfig (/Users/joe/.gitconfigs/default)
Activating .gitconfig 'work'

You can also pass only the first few characters of a profile and gitswitch will autocomplete the profile's name.

gitswitch def
Removing old .gitconfig (/Users/joe/.gitconfigs/work)
Activating .gitconfig 'default'

gitswitch <name> will also go to some lengths to make sure you don't overwrite anything you might care about:

gitswitch default
Removing old .gitconfig (/Users/joe/.gitconfigs/work)
Activating .gitconfig 'default'
gitswitch default  
Current .gitconfig (/Users/joe/.gitconfig) is already 'default' (/Users/joe/.gitconfigs/default)
rm ~/.gitconfigs
touch ~/.gitconfigs
gitswitch default
Current .gitconfig (/Users/joe/.gitconfigs) is not a regular file, not removing it
rm ~/.gitconfigs
gitswitch default
Activating .gitconfig 'default'

Note For Windows Users: You may have to run gitswitch in a shell (cmd, PowerShell, Git Bash, etc) with elevated (Administrative) privileges to get it to run.

Environment Variables

  • GITSWITCH_STORE - Path to directory of profiles. Default: ~/.gitconfigs/
