Implement the `git identity` portion listed earlier with a `identity-list` utilizing `git config --get-regexp`. If you need interactivity you can tie it together with fzf and some awk.

So, not a 20 line bash script and at least two big dependencies. Sounds a lot like what you were poking fun at.

Awk (a fraction of busybox’s 2.1 MBs) is a “big dependency”‽ Or maybe you’re saying git is‽

Haha ok ok. Awk as a “big” dependency is hyperbole (:

I really am interested in what it would take to pull this off with bash. I may try it myself...

fzf is not a standard tool.
Well no. I don't need multiple versions of the same library to do this, neither do i need the cache engine of some v8 browser either.
