> I've never heard of GitHub enforcing the multiple accounts thing, FWIW correct they don't enforce it but they make it such a royal PITA to switch accounts that I eventually gave up trying. They don't have an account switcher like Google etc. > As for alternatives, check https://sr.ht https://sr.ht thank you! Checking it out. Edit: it seems that sr.ht is not self-hosted though? I can see the link to create an account but I can't find instructions on how to install it on my own server.

> correct they don't enforce it but they make it such a royal PITA to switch accounts that I eventually gave up trying. If you are ever in need again, Firefox containers are great for this. They also allow you to bundle other corporate accounts, so you don't need any site-dependent switchers at all. > Edit: it seems that sr.ht is not self-hosted though? I can see the link to create an account but I can't find instructions on how to install it on my own server. SourceHut is a SaaS. It's created by a very open source friendly person, though. Self-hosted alternatives are GitLab or Gitea/Gogs, if you are in need of something more lightweight.

  Yes! I'm a big fan of Firefox containers and in the past I actually used it for this specific use case, among others. Unfortunately I had to switch from Firefox to another browser for unrelated reasons.

  Add to this a .ssh/config file that sends different keys to different servers. But at the end of the day, sometimes I end up using my personal computer to file PRs that were inspired by a work situation. If for no other reason than at work I want my work email associated with commits, but I don't want to accidentally push it up to github.
