GitHub: Multiple account setup
github
Solution
For your config to be taken into account, you need to use its `Host` name in your remote address:
git remote add origin ac2.github.com:myaccount/my
If you have defined a `HOME` environment variable (which isn't defined by default on Windows, but is defined if you are using the msysgit `git-cmd.bat`) to a directory under which you have your .ssh directory, with its `id_rsa_ac2` private key, and `id_rsa_ac2.pub` public key, then it will work.
Problem
I am trying since more than 3 hours to setting up multiple account for github and litteraly tired. I have tried out almost all possible way describe here, github and articles and none of them worked. I am completely newbie to github and Unix as well. So need your help to fix this. Here below what I am doing I am using Windows 7 and have set two ssh key for two different accounts. - id_rsa - id_rsa_ac2 Than created config file in `.ssh` directory of the User and added below code ``` #Account one Host github.com HostName github.com PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile /c/Projects/.ssh/id_rsa #Account two Host ac2.github.com HostName github.com PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile /c/Projects/.ssh/id_rsa_ac2 ``` Now I am trying to add remote by using below code ``` git remote add origin git@ac2.github.com:myaccount/my.git ``` and push with bellow code ``` git push origin master ``` But when I am trying to push it is giving me Error: `Error: Permission to myaccount/my.git denied to {account}. // where it is considering default user account and not for ac2 user account` `fatal: Could not read from remote repository.` `Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.` Thanks a lot.. Additional Info: I have test the `id_rsa_ac2` and giving successfully authenticated message. But the strange thing is giving username with original account not with the `ac2` account username `Hi {username!} You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. //here user id should be from ac2 but it is showing userid from id_rsa and not from id_rsa_ac2` INFORMATION: Final Code @VonC's answer worked and adding final code as my answer if anyone want to use.
