I am using two users in my windows pc and both the users need git while they have different accounts on GitHub. so how can I fix this? is there a way that both of us can use two accounts on the same pc
I tried to do this where they changed the configuration file but my new user doesn't have the file
thanks in advance!!
CodePudding user response:
If those are two different account on your PC, they have each their %USERPROFILE%/$HOME.
That means each one can create their own SSH key (ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "") and register the %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub to their respective GitHub profile.
No need for a %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config in that case.
If you have only one logged on user on your PC, but need to push as two different users, then yes:
- create two different key pairs (
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" -f key1andssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" -f key2, in a created%USERPROFILE%\.ssh) - create a
%USERPROFILE%\.ssh\configas you have seen.
