Description

Changing git accounts is a problem (see here and here) that requires user attention. This repository integrates a script to easily switch between different accounts.

By default, the script is configured to switch with server_name='github.com'. If you are interested in a different server, you can manually override this behavior in the script itself.

20:53:11 ▶ ./git_switcher.py -h
usage: ./git_switcher.py [-h] [-a] [-d] [-s] [-l]
