Git Switch (VS Code / Cursor)

One-click Git account switching from the status bar.

User journey

Click the status bar (Git Switch / your account name).
Pick an account or choose Add with GitHub…
Approve in the browser → done.

You can also run Git Switch: Add Account (GitHub) from the command palette.

Setup (from this repo)

cd extension
npm install
npm run compile

Then in VS Code/Cursor: Extensions: Install from Location… → choose the extension folder
(or press F5 from the extension folder to launch an Extension Development Host).

Requires:

python3 on your PATH (same machine as the desktop app)
This repo’s gitswitch package (auto-detected next to extension/)

Optional settings:

gitSwitch.pythonPath — default python3
gitSwitch.packageRoot — repo root containing the gitswitch folder

Commands

Command	What it does
Git Switch: Switch Account	Quick-pick to switch or add (same as status bar click)
Git Switch: Add Account (GitHub)	Browser sign-in → save account
Git Switch: Refresh	Reload the status bar label

Switch prefers this workspace (local git config) when the folder is a repo; otherwise it uses global.
