punsctl - POSIX User's Namespace Control

The punsctl utility manages multiple namespaces (user environments) for the current POSIX user. That means the user can have multiple "profiles" for the same or different tool configurations in the same user account (~/.ssh, ~/.gitconfig, ~/.gnupg, ~/.config, ~/.config/nvim, ...). The user can create, delete, activate and deactivate namespaces without additional permissions.

Installation

pip install punsctl
