  • Go to ~/.ssh
  • Create a file named config(have no extension )

  • Open config file & add below codes. (change according to your account)

    1. Account 1

      # account_1
Host gitlab.com-account_1
HostName gitlab.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_account_1

    2. Account 2

      # Account2
Host gitlab.com-Account2
HostName gitlab.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account2

    3. Account 3

      # Account_3
Host github.com
HostName github.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account_3

  • Add remote url as follows

    1. Account 1

      git remote add origin [email protected]_1:group_name/repo_name.git

    2. Account 2

      git remote add origin [email protected]:group_name/repo_name.git

    3. Account 3

      git remote add origin [email protected]:github_username/repo_name.git

Make sure that IdentityFile names are same as you created during ssh key generation.

I do this with the following trick.

in ~/.ssh/config

have lines similar to this 

Host gh-account1
    HostName github.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/account1_rsa
Host gh-account2
    HostName 176.126.246.157
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/account2_rsa

Then instead of the URL github give you use gh-account2:user/repo.git (This is the clone with ssh url but [email protected] replaced with gh-account2)

if you need to push to the same repo with 2 accounts you will need to add multiple remotes

git remote add account1 account1:user/repo.git

then you can go

git push account1 <branch>

you can do this with https linsk (they ask for account name and password each time) but its a lot of typing just to push code
