gitpro

The right Git identity, SSH key and signature for every repository.

gitpro.dev · PyPI · VS Code · made by Yantrakar

Work on a company repository, commit with your work email. Switch to a personal project, use your personal identity. Gitpro chooses by remote URL, not by where you happened to clone the repository.

Useful when you have more than one GitHub/GitLab account, separate work and personal keys, or keep finding the wrong email on your commits.

Try it

Requires Linux or macOS, Git 2.36+, Python 3.9+ and OpenSSH. Install from PyPI with pipx.

pipx install gitpro
gitpro setup

Setup offers to look through your repos and proposes your identities. Accept, edit or answer the questions yourself; no TOML editing is needed. One preview shows everything, including the commit guard and, with Claude Code, its hook and MCP server. One yes applies it all. Setup never changes your repos.

  S["gitpro setup"] --> HC{"Config <br/>exists?"}
  HC -->|no| L["Read your repos, <br/>SSH config and <br/>editor recents, <br/>if you agree"]
  L --> Q["Propose <br/>identities; you <br/>accept or edit"]
  Q --> I
  HC -->|yes| I["Inspect config, <br/>Git and SSH files, <br/>keys, guard, <br/>agent hook, MCP"]

  ASK -->|no| NONE["Nothing <br/>written"]
  ASK -->|yes| AP["Write it, print <br/>the public keys <br/>to register"]
  AP --> NX["Next: <br/>gitpro scan"]

Then:

gitpro why               # inside a repository: the expected identity and anything overriding it
gitpro scan              # repos that need a fix, with the command for each

Already have a config? gitpro setup brings this machine up to date with it. gitpro setup -n only shows what is left to do. Prefer editing files? The user guide covers the full TOML format.

What you get

• Work/personal separation: names, emails, SSH keys and signing per host/owner.

• Answers, not guesswork: gitpro why explains mismatches and suggests a fix.

• A safety net: optional hooks can block wrong-identity commits and pushes.

• Editor and container support: see your identity in VS Code and carry it into dev containers.

Gitpro generates ordinary Git and SSH configuration; it needs no background service. Changes can be previewed, existing hand-written files are backed up, and key uploads are never part of setup.

Using VS Code?

The extension shows the current identity and helps find repository-level overrides. It runs the same commands as the terminal. Install the extension.

Problems and questions

Run gitpro report to draft an issue with the versions and a redacted gitpro why; it shows you the draft and opens nothing until you say yes. Or open an issue at github.com/Yantrakar/gitpro/issues. Report a security problem privately with gitpro report --security, as the security policy describes, not in a public issue.
