git-profile-manager

The problem

If you work across personal and professional projects, your git identity needs to change depending on context — different name, different email, sometimes different signing key. Doing this manually via git config every time is error-prone and easy to forget.

What it does

gpm is a CLI tool that manages multiple git profiles and lets you switch between them with a single command. Profiles live in a config file you edit once; switching is instant.

Install

brew tap kujov/tap
brew install git-profile-manager

Verify with gpm.

Commands

gpm get       # show the active profile
gpm set       # switch to a different profile
gpm list      # list all configured profiles
gpm edit      # open the config file in vi

How it works

Profiles are stored in a local config file. gpm set writes the selected profile's name and email into your global git config. No shell hooks, no per-repo setup — just a clean swap when you need it.
