Sick of typing git commit --amend --author because you've once again committed
work into a non-Github repo with your Github username and email?
Yeah me too. So I present to you Proteus.
Proteus is a simple tool to manage your various git configurations.
It reads a configuration file and applies the correct git configuration by matching rules which you have defined.
I haven't released a gem to RubyGems.org yet so you will need to build and install it from source at the moment.
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/jgmchan/proteus.git
Build and install gem:
rake install
Proteus requires a YAML configuration file to be located at ~/.proteus.yaml. This file will describe the rules to match and the git configs to apply.
Sample ~/.proteus.yaml:
- rules:
remote_origin: github.com
config:
user.name: jgmchan
user.email: jgmchan@gmail.com
- rules:
remote_origin: git.example.com
config:
user.name: jeffrey
user.email: jeffrey.chan@example.com
With the above configuration file, proteus will look at the remote origin of your git repository and if it matches 'github.com', it will change user.name to 'jgmchan' and user.email to 'jgmchan@gmail.com'. If it matches 'git.example.com' it will change the user.name to 'jeffrey' and user.email to 'jeffrey.chan@example.com'.
To run proteus, go into your git repository and run:
proteus start
You can turn on logging by setting the environment variable PROTEUS_LOG to the required logging level:
PROTEUS_LOG=debug proteus start
