Feature request: Update got credentials based on the current user #61

While using Mobster, it would be cool if it switched the git credential to the current user.

Hello! Thanks for starting the discussion.

Take a look at this example script: https://github.com/dillonkearns/mobster/blob/master/mobster-commit.sh. Mobster makes the active mobsters available as a comma-separated list. The first one in the list is the current driver.

You could do a case statement on the name of the current driver. Then, based on that name, you could set USER_EMAIL in that script. And you could even change out the ssh key or something like that if you needed to. Why don't you start with giving that a try and seeing how it goes.

I don't think it would make sense to couple Mobster to git or running CLI commands to change the driver. Instead, I like the approach of providing simple ways for users to build scripts using that information. Let me know how that works for your team and give me your feedback 👍Thank you!
