Description
I use separate Claude Code accounts for work and personal projects. Having to log out and go through the login flow every time I switched accounts became annoying, so I built a small CLI to solve it.The commands are intentionally simple:claude account add myworkaccount claude account add mypersonalaccount claude account use myworkaccount claude account currentAfter switching, Claude Code works normally:claude claude "fix this bug in main.py" Repository: https://github.com/hamzarehmandeveloper/claude-accountGive it a try
