I've been using my Mac with admin rights, and it's been great to create multiple user accounts to handle different projects and environments effortlessly. However, I'm looking for a way to switch between different environments while still using the same user account, since I like to keep my terminal tracking the specifics of each project, like the EKS cluster and so on. Are there any tools or methods that you guys use to switch environments more effectively without creating separate users?

Creating multiple user accounts usually complicates things more than it helps. Instead, consider using tools like virtualenv for managing Python environments, or docker for keeping dependencies in check. If you’re handling Kubernetes, kubectx is a lifesaver for switching clusters effortlessly. There are so many options available, you just need to explore what fits your workflow best.
I hear you, but managing multiple setups sounds complex. I might just stick to separate users for simplicity, even if it's not the most efficient.
