Do you use windows? I found that having multiple GitHub account is infuriating on windows because it forces you to go into an obscure security manager to delete a record in order to switch which account your using. Never found a way around it.
- timvdalen 6y agoI had never heard of this so I just tried to reproduce this - I have no trouble logging into two separate GitHub accounts in different Chrome profiles. What makes Firefox profiles different?
- KallDrexx 6y agoI think he's talking about the windows credential manager for HTTPS authorization for cloning/pushing.
- timvdalen 6y agoAha! I've always just used SSH authorization with GitHub.
- jacksonlango 6y agoOh, I'll give that a try, thanks!
- worble 6y agoI think he means when using git from the command line. Trying to push to your repo will trigger a github sign in process, which will then save the credentials to Windows Credential Manager. Git will then ALWAYS use those from that point on credentials unless you go into the manager and delete them, which is a massive pain if you use multiple github accounts.
