multi-account Git identity managers

This cluster consists of desktop apps that help developers manage multiple Git accounts by switching or automatically applying the correct identity, credentials, and SSH keys per repository or folder. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as it predates the index or its members are undated. Among traction leaders, gitContext leads with 12 stars, while switchly and gitVu have 0 stars.
