## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

karn is a small Git identity helper for developers who use different user.name and user.email values across personal, work, and open-source repositories.

### Projektgeschichte

The project began as a Go command-line tool in March 2015. Its README describes the core behavior: karn checks a directory tree, compares it with a user configuration, and updates only a repository's local Git identity rather than the global Git configuration.

The release series stayed intentionally narrow. The v0.0.1 release was tagged from the initial implementation, and v0.1.0 in February 2021 added support for GPG signing keys.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

karn reached package-manager visibility through Homebrew and the Arch User Repository, which fits its audience: developers who want a shell-friendly way to keep Git identities separated without remembering per-repository commands.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Typical use is to keep identity rules in ~/.karn.yml, then run karn manually or wrap Git commands so karn update runs before Git operations.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

karn is a tidy example of a package-manager-sized developer convenience: a tiny binary, a dotfile, and a focused fix for a workflow footgun that Git itself leaves to local config discipline.

### Zeitleiste

- 2015-03-28: Initial commit for the Go implementation
- 2015-03-29: v0.0.1 release
- 2021-02-12: v0.1.0 release work added GPG signing-key support

### Related projects

- Git local configuration, shell Git wrappers, and other per-repository identity helpers solve adjacent problems.
