GitGuise
Auto-route git commits to the right GitHub account.
GitGuise automatically routes commits, pushes, and clones to the right GitHub account by reading each repo's remote URL. Unlike gh auth switch (swaps auth only) or includeIf (folder-based), it handles key, remote, and identity in one step. Setup wizard, unlimited profiles, cross-platform. Free and open source.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I run two GitHub accounts on one machine — one personal, one for work. For years my "fix" was two bash aliases that swapped my global git config. It worked, as long as I remembered to run them. I didn't, a lot.
Forget to switch before pulling a private work repo and GitHub doesn't say "wrong account." It says "Repository not found" — on a repo you own. Then you're editing SSH config, checking which key is loaded, wondering if your access got pulled.
Every workaround I tried (gh auth switch, includeIf, per-repo git config) solved part of the problem but still asked me to remember something.
So I built GitGuise. It reads each repo's remote URL and pairs it with the right identity — key, remote, and commit email. Nothing to switch. No folder rules. Just git.
- Setup wizard for SSH keys, config, and hooks
- Unlimited profiles (personal, work, freelance, whatever)
- Repo scanner shows which account each local repo belongs to
- Export/import config for new machines
- Windows, macOS, Linux
- Free and open source (MIT)
Would love feedback, feature requests, and bug reports. Genuinely curious how others have solved this — always feels like everyone has their own hack.
The remote URL matching is clever, but I'd love to see a fallback for repos without a remote configured yet, like a CLI prompt asking which profile to use when you run git init. Right now I'm guessing it silently picks the default and you don't find out until later.
Finally something that just reads the remote URL and handles it, no folder rules needed. Caught the setup wizard walking me through switching work and personal stuff in like two minutes, honestly smoother than I expected.
