I finally got fed up with making work + personal Git repos work on my machine.Ever clone a work repository and accidentally make commits using your personal email? Or forget how to make your work repos use your work SSH key? Yeah... same.So I built the tool I've always wanted. GitPersona - a CLI tool for managing many git profiles on a single machine.Shoutout to my boy Codex for helping me finally ship this.
