How It Works

Git Account Manager stores your Git profiles in a local config file and updates your global Git settings (user.name and user.email) based on your selection.

Note: This extension does not manage your GitHub login, SSH keys, or tokens — only your Git identity for commits.

Where Profiles Are Stored

Your Git profiles are saved locally in: ~/.vscode-git-profiles.json

Example structure:

{
  "current": "Work",
  "profiles": [
    { "label": "Work", "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@work.com" },
    { "label": "Personal", "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@personal.com" }
  ]
}

This file is automatically managed by the extension.
