Gitlias
Swap between git aliases so that you can git commit as the right author.
Set a number of aliases in a gitlias.toml file. For example, you might switch between a work and personal alias when committing to your own projects on a lunch break. This saves you the hassle of using
git config --set [--global]
or other such lines and provides a more familiar name to refer to them by.
Install
The simplest way to install is by using Go
go install github.com/jdockerty/[email protected]
Usage
You can see the full usage and supported flags by running gitlias --help. Below is a short example of how the program should be utilised.
# ${HOME}/gitlias.toml
[alias]
[alias.work]
user = "John S"
email = "[email protected]"
[alias.personal]
user = "John Smith"
email = "[email protected]"
Switching between them so that your commit messages have the corresponding author
gitlias work
gitlias personal # current active alias
Now your commit messages will have the user John Smith and email [email protected] assigned to them.
Note: this currently writes to the global git config.
