Git - Config multiple accounts in a single machine

I have 2 github accounts, personal account and working account. So I need config to add identification in 1 computer.

• Step 1: Generate new ssh key sh ssh-keygen -t rsa -C “your-email-address”

This command will show:

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/your_username/.ssh/id_rsa):

You should enter company name, for example: id_rsa_sun. And Make sure you don’t override id_rsa as this is your existing key for your original account.

Add this new key to ssh to ssh-agent: ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sun

Add ~/.ssh/config file like this:

Host github.com-sun
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sun
  User git
  Hostname github.com

• Step 2: Add this new key to Github

  • Copy content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sun.pub
  • Add new SSH key in setting page

• Step 3: Change remote of git repo

  • Cd to working repo and type git config -e
  • Edit url of the remote, for example:

  [remote "upstream"]
    url = [email protected]:tuantv-0547/hypebid.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

Done. Now you can add commit and push. :D
