Git and Github Switcher Credentials

Introduction

I wanted to create this script for to switch my git accounts(from the work, university and my personal account) easier only running a bash script.

I used these shell command line tools in this project:

• jq: a shell command line for read easily a json file.
• git: a shell command line for manage a control of versions for software projects.
• github-cli: a shell command line for connect with the github page repository.

Requeriments

• Write a bash script that allows switch git and github accounts.

Application Installation

Git Switcher:

We need to assing permisions for run the requirements intaller script and the main script(Do not forget config your config.json and add your credentials).

$ chmod u+x script.sh requirements.sh

Run the requirements script with one argument(the argument is your operating system).

Arguments:

• system: "mac" or "linux"

$ ./requirements.sh linux

Run the main script but first we need to specify 2 arguments, the third argument is optional only if you pass "github" or "both" as the first argument, in other case is not necessary.

Arguments:

• command: "git", "github" or "both"
• account: name of account in the config.json
• method: "token" or "browser"

$ ./script.sh both jjwizard browser

Aditional Recommendation

if you use visual code as your IDE, we recommend use the browser auth mode because you log in github-cli and github page in your default browser(Be sure you are logout of github in your browser), if you use token auth, you only log in github-cli.
