Let suppose I have two github accounts, https://github.com/rahul-office and https://github.com/rahul-personal. Now i want to setup my mac to easily talk to both the github accounts.
NOTE: This logic can be extended to more than two accounts also. :)
The setup can be done in 5 easy steps:
The only way I've succeeded so far is to employ SSH.
Assuming you are new to this like me, first I'd like to share with you that your Mac has a SSH config file in a .ssh directory. The config file is where you draw relations of your SSH keys to each GitHub (or Bitbucket) account, and all your SSH keys generated are saved into .ssh directory by default. You can navigate to it by running cd ~/.ssh within your terminal, open the config file with any editor, and it should look something like this:
Host * AddKeysToAgent yes
> UseKeyChain yes
| {0: 'tench, Tinca tinca', | |
| 1: 'goldfish, Carassius auratus', | |
| 2: 'great white shark, white shark, man-eater, man-eating shark, Carcharodon carcharias', | |
| 3: 'tiger shark, Galeocerdo cuvieri', | |
| 4: 'hammerhead, hammerhead shark', | |
| 5: 'electric ray, crampfish, numbfish, torpedo', | |
| 6: 'stingray', | |
| 7: 'cock', | |
| 8: 'hen', | |
| 9: 'ostrich, Struthio camelus', |
