ghmulti for VS Code

Manage and switch GitHub identities from VS Code using the ghmulti CLI.

Features

• Status bar indicator for the current effective account.
• Quick action menu for:
  • Add account
  • Switch account
  • Link repository to account
  • Unlink repository account
  • Show status
  • Run doctor diagnostics
• Multi-root workspace support with repository picker for link/unlink/status flows.
• Command palette commands:
  • ghmulti: Open Menu
  • ghmulti: Add Account
  • ghmulti: Switch Account
  • ghmulti: Link Account to Repository
  • ghmulti: Unlink Repository Account
  • ghmulti: Show Status
  • ghmulti: Run Doctor

Requirements

• ghmulti CLI installed and available in your environment.
• A configured ghmulti account set (for switching/linking).

Install CLI from the project root:

pip install -e .

Extension Settings

• ghmulti.commandPath
  • Optional absolute path to ghmulti executable.
  • Leave empty to use auto-detection (ghmulti, python -m ghmulti, python3 -m ghmulti, py -m ghmulti).

Usage

1. Open a git repository in VS Code.
2. Click the ghmulti status bar item.
3. Pick an action from the menu.

For repository-specific identity, use Link Repository and Unlink Repository.

Development Testing

From vscode-extension/:

npm install
npm run compile
npm test

Troubleshooting

• Run ghmulti: Run Doctor and check the ghmulti output channel.
• Run ghmulti: Show Status to inspect effective/global/link states.
• If CLI detection fails, set ghmulti.commandPath explicitly.
