How to use another github account on Windows

  • 772

I have the problem that I already have my main github account logged into the terminal. Now I want to use a secondary account that I just created from github but I can't push to the repositories because it pushes with the credentials of my main account. How do I delete my main account credentials?

  2. Via console you access the repository and use the following commands:

    git config user.name "Max Jimenez"
git config user.email "[email protected]"

    With this you assign these values ​​only to the repository in which you are located. If what you want is to change the data globally, you must use the option --globallike this:

    git config --global user.name "Max Jimenez"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

    Now, to change the remote configuration you can do this: First list the remote that you have configured, whose output is something similar to:

    $ git remote -vv
origin  https://[email protected]/owner/repo.git (fetch)
origin  https://[email protected]/owner/repo.git (push)

    Now you can use to remove the user:

    $ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/owner/repo.git

    Or this one to switch to another user

    $ git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/owner/repo.git

    I hope you find this information useful
