This is a Git credential helper that can serve different credentials based on the repo path prefix. It's useful when you have multiple GitHub users with access to different organizations.
Make sure that the git-credential-store-path binary is in your $PATH.
Add the following to your ~/.gitconfig:
[credential]
helper = store-path
useHttpPath = true
[url "https://github.com/"]
insteadOf = [email protected]:
The URL replacement is to force usage of HTTPS instead of SSH, as the credentials helper can't assist with SSH connections.
On mac you may also need to run git config --system --unset credential.helper to avoid the default osxkeychain caching the login,
as it does not care about the path.
The helper reads ~/.git-credentials in the same way as the regular
git-credentials-store helper and could be used as a drop in replacement.
In addition, it also does matching on path prefixes and uses the first
matching entry. For example, the following .git-credentials file:
https://org1-user:[email protected]/Org1/
https://org2-user:[email protected]/Org2/
https://myuser:[email protected]
Operations on a repository Org1/foo will use the org1-user credentials,
operations on Org2/bar will use the org2-user credentials, and all other
repos will use myuser.
