GH CLI multi-account switch

config.yml

git_protocol: ssh
aliases:

This is the best thing since sliced cheese. I do hope this will be solved by upstream. Thank you!

So good!

This is true the love of my life

thank you T_T

Thank you very much. It works great. But I had to add gh auth setup-git to the aliases to make git recognize switched profiles. So, my aliases inside ~/.config/gh/config.yml looks like as below currently:

aliases:
    co: pr checkout
    personal: '!cp ~/.config/gh/hosts.personal.yml ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml && gh auth setup-git && gh auth status'
    work: '!cp ~/.config/gh/hosts.work.yml ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml && gh auth setup-git && gh auth status'

This method works like a charm with direnv.
Suppose you have

~/work
~/personal

Put .envrc in each dir and write the same thing.
ex.) ~/work/.envrc

/bin/cp ~/.config/gh/work.yml ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml && gh auth status

When you cd ~/work, the command above is automatically run by direnv.
