Absolutely brilliant. Watched both your SSH and HTTP videos on using two git account from one machine. Took me more than a day to find you but thank god I did. All others made it so difficult to follow. Cannot believe they were describing what you succinctly and with such clarity described. Thanks a lot

[@anest-uk]

Thanks, very clear. I now see why on SO etc people are saying 'but I want it per account, not per repo!'. Because that's what I want. Surely not an unusual case? Multiple projects, multiple repos in each, PACs that should expire... gives you a shedload of work every 3 months if it is per repo. Baffled as to why there's not a simple solution for this.

[@Ashotofcode]

Indeed! glad was helpful Cheers Mark

It works. But it uses the entire repository as key, so it's annoying if you have multiple repositories under one account. How to manage multiple github account (not individual repositories)?

Hasn't the GCM recently updated to be 'manager-core'? Also worth mentioning that different helper programs, while having a baseline set of commands, may have commands specific to the particular helper. Finally would be also good to see how to get sending patches via SMTP through the 'git send-email' capability be properly authenticated (permitted) with the email server.

@@Ashotofcode I have to say... Eventually I'm going to stick with deleting my credentials in the WCM because it is a barrier to remind me to also change my user credentials in the.config file. Because even though you're logged in into another account... Your commit credentials stay the same and to me that's not good. But thanks for the video!

[@b25671]

@Ashotofcode Apparently if you set your local config file to “git config credential.username “MyUsername” … it is enough for Windows Credential Manager to separate different login-credentials. So you can have different logins in WCM and you just specify which one you want to use by setting the credential.username in the local config file.

[@davidblanco7391]

mac users might have to run: $ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/your-file

[@Oswee]

I just get rid of multiple accounts like a year ago. It works fine... but... my conclusion was that overall its all clunky. So i created several organizations for my primary account and moved all projects over there. And i joined to some external organizations. So... no i have just single identity for GitHub and everything organized nicely. I had something like (but i'm using ssh): cat ~/.ssh/config Host my-org.github.com HostName github.com User my-org PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-my-org IdentitiesOnly yes Host my-username.github.com HostName github.com User my-username PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-my-username IdentitiesOnly yes EOT

[@Ashotofcode]

Hi Dzintars, thanks for sharing, good to see how others are doing this for sure, I'm gonna try out ssh and create a video so can learn that approach too - you'll be able to critic it for sure it seems from past experience. The organization approach I've not considered (or knew about) thanks for the heads up on this😁 I'm gonna have a dig into it as looks like will be better than both SSH and Https? Cheers Mark

[@blank9567]

@@Ashotofcode Your Video helped alot because I was forced into multiple accounts 1 for university codebase server(automated account linked to my studymail limited to only projects from university) and 1 for personal use of gitlab with my privat email. Kinda interested if there is something similiar with ssh. I already would be happy if I could configure something like lets say: this University folder and all subfolders are linked to the one account and globally all other commits are from my private account. None the less this is way better than changing my config file all the time. The presentation quality and the live showcase were very high. I enjoy that there are people actual helping with setting up the stuff instead of skipping to the now everything is ready part. Atleast after finally getting the requirements satisfied the feeling of making progress continues. Thanks for your kind help and keep going!
