Mimo

Who do you want to be today?

Mimo lives in your menu bar and takes on whoever you need to be for the repo in front of you — work you, personal you, the project-X you. One click, your git identity (name, email, SSH key, signing key, credential helper) swaps cleanly. No more accidental commits as the wrong person.

What it does

• Identity switching — Toggle between git profiles from the menu bar. Active profile's name, email, SSH key, and signing config flow straight into ~/.gitconfig.
• Per-repo profiles — Map a folder to a profile via includeIf. Walk into ~/work/, you're work-you; walk into ~/projects/, you're personal-you. Mimo writes the includeIf blocks for you.
• SSH keys — Generate, view, copy, and delete keys in ~/.ssh/ without dropping into the terminal. Per-profile host aliases in ~/.ssh/config are managed for you.
• Commit signing — GPG or SSH signing per profile. Mimo finds your keys, wires commit.gpgSign / gpg.format / gpg.program.
• Credential helpers — osxkeychain, cache, store, or none — picked per profile.
• Clone with identity — Paste a repo URL, Mimo auto-detects the provider (GitHub / Azure DevOps / GitLab / Bitbucket / custom) and clones with the right identity.
• Repo status at a glance — Branch, dirty/clean, active profile right there in the menu bar popover.
• Auto-updates — Sparkle ships new versions quietly.
