Getting Started

Gitu is a tiny script for managing multiple git names/emails. It moves git config --global user.name NAME and git config --global user.email EMAIL to a quick, easy command. Profiles (sets of names and emails) are stored in a yaml file at ~/.git_users.yml.

Prerequisites

• *nix operating system (Mac OS X or Linux)
• Ruby 2.0.0 or greater

Installing

./gitu should be placed in /usr/local/bin/ so it can be executed with gitu. Use curl or wget for easiest installation. ~/.git_users.yml is automatically generated if it doesn't exist the first time any gitu command is run.

via curl

curl -o /usr/local/bin/gitu https://raw.githubusercontent.com/net/gitu/master/gitu && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/gitu

via wget

wget -P /usr/local/bin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/net/gitu/master/gitu && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/gitu

Usage

Profiles

Profiles are named sets of names and emails. Example:

github:
  name: net
  email: myemail@me.com
bitbucket:
  name: net
  email: atlassian@example.com

Commands

Set Profile

gitu [profile] sets the git global name and email. For example gitu github would set the global name and email to the name/email defined under github in ~/.git_users.yml

Current Profile

gitu shows the current profile.

Set Repository Profile

gitu -s [profile] sets the profile for the current repository. This adds the name/email to .git/config so it stays in effect even after you leave the repository.

Add Profile

gitu + [profile name] [name] [email] adds a profile. Profiles can also be added directly in ~/.git_users.yml.

Remove Profile

gitu - [profile name] removes a profile. Profiles can also be removed directly in ~/.git_users.yml.

Version

gitu -v returns the current version.
