gitrc

easily switch between .gitconfig files

Overview

If you (like me) need to travel between home and the office that have different network settings you'll know how annoying setting and unsetting config settings can be - especially if you try and push and it fails.

It works really great if one .gitconfig needs a proxy, and the other doesn't.

Major credit to @deoxxa/npmrc for inspiration and setting a blueprint

Installation

1. Install the module from npm

   npm i @markbattistella/gitrc -g

Usage

$ gitrc -h

Usage:
  gitrc               List all profiles
  gitrc [name]        Switch to profile
  gitrc -n [name]     Create a new profile
  gitrc -d [name]     Delete the profile
  gitrc -h            Display this screen

Initialisation

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

Create a new config file

gitrc -n configname

A blank config will be created where you can have custom settings for your .gitconfig

git config --global user.name "Mark Battistella"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

You can then add whatever other configuration settings you need. Please refer to the manual for help.

List available config files

Available .gitconfig files:

 > home
   work-proxy

Switch to a specific .gitconfig

gitrc work-proxy
Activating .gitconfig 'work-proxy'

Delete a specific .gitconfig

gitrc -d work-proxy

Deleting .gitconfig file 'work-proxy'
Current active config is being deleted.
Remember to set a new one before use.

Note For Windows Users

You may have to run gitrc in a shell (cmd, PowerShell, Git Bash, etc) with elevated (Administrative) privileges to get it to run.
