Problem

I have two Github accounts: oanhnn (personal) and superman (for work). I want to use both accounts on same computer (without typing password everytime, when doing git push or pull).

Solution

Use ssh keys and define host aliases in ssh config file (each alias for an account).

How to?

1. Generate ssh key pairs for accounts and add them to GitHub accounts.

<?php
 if(php_sapi_name()!=="cli"){
 echo "Must be run from the commend line.";
 };
/**
 * Setup a magento instance so we can run this export from the command line.
 */
require_once('app/Mage.php');
umask(0);
if (!Mage::isInstalled()) {

Setting up github and bitbucket on the same computer

Github will be the main account and bitbucket the secondary.

Create SSH Keys

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "github email"

Enter passphrase when prompted. If you see an option to save the passphrase in your keychain, do it for an easier life.
