Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I built GHSwitch because I lived the pain daily. I maintain separate Git identities for my day job, personal projects, and open-source contributions. Every time I switched contexts, I'd run `git config --global user.name`, `user.email`, and `user.signingkey` by hand. And occasionally I'd forget — committing to a work repo with my personal email, or vice versa.

I literally had a sticky note on my monitor with the commands.

I looked for existing solutions. There are CLI tools, shell scripts, and git aliases — but nothing that lived in my system tray and worked with zero friction. I wanted something that was always there, always one click away, and never required me to open a terminal just to switch contexts.

So I built GHSwitch.

How it works: It lives in your system tray — macOS menu bar or Windows taskbar. Click it, see all your profiles, click the one you want. Done. Your Git config is updated instantly.

Profiles are stored in your `~/.gitconfig` under `ghswitch..*` keys — the same config file Git already uses. No proprietary database, no cloud sync, no accounts. You own your data completely.

Pricing: GHSwitch is launching completely for free! I've set it up on Polar.sh with a "pay what you want" model defaulting to $3. If you just want to use the app, simply change the amount to $0 and download it for free. If you find it helpful and want to support the project, any contribution is hugely appreciated!

What's next: I have a few ideas I'm exploring — per-repository auto-detection based on the remote URL, custom Git config overrides per profile, and maybe a CLI companion for power users. I'd love to hear what would make this tool most valuable for your workflow.

This started as a personal tool to scratch my own itch. I hope it saves you as much friction as it's saved me. Happy to answer any questions and hear your feedback!
