# pyGitSwitch
 GitHub Desktop Multi-account switcher

![-----------------------------------------------------](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png)

## ➤ Why  : 
https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/3707
Since GitHub Desktop doesn't natively support multiple accounts. 

So users often have to log out and log back into their work and personnel accounts and re-add the repos they're working on.

This aims to solve that problem by keeping a copy `Roaming\Github Desktop` for each user and then renaming the folder when asked and rename the folder back when switching to a new user. (records kept track using `~/gitswitch.json` file)


![-----------------------------------------------------](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/cloudy.png)

## ➤ How  :
* Make user login with each account in setup (`init`) process.
* rename `.gitconfig` and `GitHub Desktop` folder with username at the end.
* When the `switch` method is called rename the user folder to `GitHub Desktop` and copy over the `.gitconfuser` file to `.gitconf`. 
* update the `~/gitswitch.json` with the current user details.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

                        Store current user login as (do not delete current user)

## Switch

- Run account switcher 

```console
$ gitswitch switch --help
usage: gitswitch switch [-h] [-d]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --do-not-start-github
                        Do NOT Start GitHub after switching account
```

```console
$ gitswitch

Stopping Github Process...

Select Account  (Current User: User1)
----------------------------------------

1. User1
2. User2
3. User3

 Enter Your Choice (1-3) : 3
---------------


Switching account to user : User3

Done
```

just running `gitswitch` without any arguments will trigger the `switch` command by default
