A VS Code / Cursor extension for managing multiple GitHub accounts. Store account profiles, map credentials, and switch between accounts — all without leaving your editor.
Features
Multi-account profiles — Save up to 5 named GitHub account profiles
One-click account switching — Activate any profile to instantly update your Git credentials
Credential mapping — Link your stored Git credentials to a profile with a single action
Status bar display — Active account name always visible in the VS Code status bar
Rename & delete profiles — Full lifecycle management for your accounts
Clear credentials — Wipe stored GitHub credentials when needed
Cross-platform — Works on Windows (Credential Manager), macOS (Keychain), and Linux (git-credential store)
Usage
Opening the Account Manager
Click the GitHub icon in the status bar (bottom right) — it shows your active account name or No Active Account. This opens the Account Manager quick pick.
Adding an Account
Open the Account Manager
Select + Add Account
Enter a profile name (alphanumeric, hyphens, and underscores; max 30 characters)
Mapping an Account to Your Credentials
Mapping reads your currently stored Git credentials and associates them with a profile.
Open the Account Manager
Select the account you want to map
Choose Map — the extension reads your current git credential and links it to the profile
Switching Accounts (Set Active)
Open the Account Manager
Select the account you want to use
Choose Activate — the extension writes that account's credentials to your Git credential store
