gitid

GitID is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to facilitate the management of multiple Git SSH keys on a single user account. It allows users to seamlessly create, list, switch, and display different SSH identities, simplifying the process of handling multiple Git identities. This can be particularly useful for developers who need to manage separate SSH keys for different projects or roles, avoiding the hassle of modifying Git URLs or dealing with permission issues when working with various repositories.

The tool offers several key functionalities, including the ability to create new SSH identities, list all available identities, check the current identity in use, switch to a specified identity for the current directory, and display the public key of a specified identity. These commands help streamline the workflow for developers who frequently switch between different Git accounts.

GitID is still under development, and users are advised to back up their ~/.ssh directory before using it. The tool is available for installation via npm with the command npm install -g gitid. For those interested in contributing to its development, the repository can be cloned from GitHub, and dependencies can be installed using yarn.
