heroku-accounts
Multiple Heroku account management tool for developers working across different projects and environments.
What is heroku-accounts?
Heroku Accounts is a command-line tool that allows developers to manage multiple Heroku accounts from a single terminal interface. It solves the problem of constantly logging in and out when working with different Heroku accounts for various projects, teams, or environments.
Developers and DevOps engineers who work with multiple Heroku accounts across different projects, clients, or environments and need to switch between them frequently.
It saves time and reduces friction by eliminating the need to repeatedly log in and out of Heroku accounts, providing a streamlined workflow for managing multiple identities from the command line.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Eliminates the repetitive login/logout process for managing multiple Heroku accounts, saving time as highlighted in its key features for developers working across projects or environments.
Allows associating different Heroku accounts with specific directories, enabling context-aware workflows that simplify switching based on project needs.
Follows a lightweight philosophy targeting only account management, reducing complexity and keeping the CLI tool straightforward for its core use case.
Cons
The README explicitly states the project is deprecated with no ongoing updates, meaning no bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility guarantees.
As Heroku's CLI evolves, this tool may break or lack support for newer features, posing operational risks for users dependent on current Heroku workflows.
With no active development, community support, documentation updates, or integrations are scarce, making troubleshooting and adoption challenging.
