Git config user profiles

An extension to locally manage multiple git user configs

Introduction

When you are working on multiple git projects you sometimes want to sign your commits with different names and emails.

The easiest way to do this is through a vscode extension called git-config-user-profile.

What it does

The extension adds a section in the status bar at the bottom of vscode. It’s easy to see what profile is currently active, edit an existing profile or make a new profile.

managing the git repo profile

After this is done, every commit in this repo will use the applied profile and the setting is remembered the next time you open the project.
