Script to use multiple github accounts properly in the same repository on the same machine

Introduction

In my organization, multiple programmers are developing with shared accounts in the robot.

I recently started managing the source code on GitHub, but note that user management when committing was a little troublesome when developing in the same repository in the robot.

I want to switch between multiple accounts within the same repository, but when I looked it up, I could only find a way to set it for each repository.

Since users change frequently, it is troublesome to rewrite gitconfig each time, and it seems to be forgotten.

solution

I wrote a script to check committers before committing.

The source code can be found here [https://github.com/DaikiMaekawa/git-check-committer).

how to use

Commit normally.

$ git commit -m "msg"

Account information is displayed

• Enter y to commit normally.

• You can reset your account by typing n.

  Author = USER_NAME <USER_EMAIL> Do you want to me to keep it this way? [y/n] n

Set up a new account.

Username:NEW_USER_NAME
Email:NEW_USER_EMAIL
Please commit that again...

You will be asked to commit again.

$ git commit -m "msg"

Check the updated account information and enter y if there is no problem.

Author = NEW_USER_EMAIL <NEW_USER_EMAIL>
