A CLI tool to quickly switch between multiple GitHub accounts by updating SSH config and Git configuration.

go install github.com/naxodev/github-switch@latest

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/naxodev/github-switch.git
cd github-switch
make install

1. Initialize the config file:

github-switch init

1. Add your GitHub accounts:

github-switch add personal
# Follow the prompts to enter your name, email, and SSH key

github-switch add work --name "Your Name" --email "you@company.com" --ssh-key "id_work_rsa"

1. Switch between accounts:

github-switch switch personal
# or use the shorthand
github-switch sw work

Accounts are stored in ~/.github-switch.yaml:

accounts:
  personal:
    ssh_key: id_personal_rsa
    name: Your Name
    email: you@example.com
  work:
    ssh_key: id_work_rsa
    name: Your Name
    email: you@company.com

When you switch accounts, github-switch:

1. Updates ~/.ssh/config to use the correct SSH key for github.com
2. Sets global Git user.name and user.email
3. Adds the SSH key to your ssh-agent

• Go 1.21+ (for installation)
• SSH keys configured for each GitHub account
• Git installed
