MultiKey CLI

MultiKey CLI is an open source developer tool that manages multiple GitHub SSH identities and applies the correct identity based on folder or repo location. It simplifies working with multiple GitHub accounts (personal, work, clients) by providing profile-based SSH routing tied to directory paths and repositories.

Features

• Multiple SSH Profile Management - Create, edit, and delete SSH profiles for different GitHub accounts
• Folder-to-Profile Mapping - Automatically apply the correct profile based on folder location
• Repo-Level Mapping - Override profile per repository
• Automatic Repo Scanning - Find and analyze Git repositories
• Auto-Fix - Automatically update remote URLs and Git config to match profiles
• Diagnostics - Check repository alignment and configuration health
• Guided Setup - Interactive setup wizard for first-time users

Installation

Using Homebrew (Recommended)

brew tap Torres-Atlantic/multikey
brew install multikey

Using Go Install

go install github.com/Torres-Atlantic/multikey-cli/cmd/multikey@latest

From Source

cd multikey-cli
make build
# Binary will be in build/multikey

Quick Start

1. Run setup (first time only):

   multikey setup
   

2. Create a profile:

   multikey profile add
   

3. Map a folder to a profile:

   multikey map add ~/code/work --profile work
   

4. Scan and fix repositories:

   multikey scan ~/code/work
   multikey apply ~/code/work

• multikey map list - List all mappings
• multikey map remove <path> - Remove a mapping

Repository Operations

• multikey scan <path> - Scan for Git repositories and show alignment status
• multikey apply <path> - Automatically fix repositories to match their profiles
• multikey assign <path> --profile <id> - Assign a profile to a repository and apply fixes
• multikey status <path> - Show repository status vs expected configuration
• multikey diagnose <path> - Run full health check

Utility Commands

• multikey setup - Run guided setup wizard

• multikey import <file> - Import configuration from JSON file
• multikey sponsor - Show sponsor information
• multikey version - Show version information

How It Works

MultiKey CLI works by:

1. SSH Config Management: Creates SSH host aliases (e.g., github-work) that route to different SSH keys
2. Profile Mapping: Maps folders and repositories to profiles
3. Remote URL Rewriting: Updates Git remote URLs to use the correct SSH host alias
4. Git Config Updates: Sets per-repository user.email and user.name to match the profile

Example

If you have a profile work with SSH host github-work:

• Remote URL: [email protected]:company/repo.git → git@github-work:company/repo.git
• Git config: user.email → [email protected], user.name → work-username

Configuration

Configuration is stored at ~/.config/multikey/config.json.

SSH configuration is written to ~/.ssh/multikey.conf and included in ~/.ssh/config.
