Git User Switcher

A VS Code extension that makes it easy to switch between multiple Git user configurations for different projects.

Features

• Quick Switching: Easily switch between saved Git user profiles via the command palette
• Profile Management: Save, manage, and delete multiple Git user configurations
• Current User Display: View the currently configured Git user for your workspace
• Email Validation: Built-in validation when adding new profiles

Usage

1. Add a Profile

Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and run:

Git User Switcher: Add Profile

You'll be prompted to enter:

• Git user name (e.g., "John Doe")
• Git user email (e.g., "john.doe@example.com")
• Optional label (e.g., "Work", "Personal")

2. Switch Users

Open the command palette and run:

Git User Switcher: Switch User

Select from your saved profiles to instantly configure Git for the current workspace.

3. Show Current User

To see which Git user is currently configured:

Git User Switcher: Show Current User

4. Delete Profiles

To delete saved profiles:

Git User Switcher: Delete Profiles

Commands

• Git User Switcher: Switch User - Switch between saved Git user profiles
• Git User Switcher: Add Profile - Add a new Git user profile
• Git User Switcher: Delete Profiles - Delete saved profiles
• Git User Switcher: Show Current User - Display the current Git user configuration

How It Works

This extension uses Git's local repository configuration to set the user name and email. When you switch users, it runs:

git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "your.email@example.com"

These settings are applied to the current workspace only and don't affect your global Git configuration.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.108.1 or higher
• Git must be installed on your system

Extension Settings

This extension stores user profiles globally in VS Code, so they're available across all your workspaces.
