claudenv

Switch between Claude Code accounts the same way you switch Python envs or Node versions — a shell function that feels like a native command.

Modeled after nvm / venv / jenv. macOS-first.

Quick install

curl -o- https://github.com/1shooperman/claude-env/releases/download/v0.1.2/install.sh | sh

Then wire your shell profile — the installer will print the exact lines to add. See Installation for full details and options.

How it works

Each env is a directory under ~/.claudenv/envs/<name>/. Activating an env sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR to that directory, which tells Claude Code to read its config and credentials from there instead of the default ~/.claude.

Because claudenv runs as a shell function (not a subprocess), it can export environment variables and modify your prompt directly — the same trick nvm uses.
