Push to GitHub repo with another user

I have on my Mac two GitHub users, one is for work and another is personal. I set them up following this tutorial: https://medium.com/@ibrahimlawal/developing-with-multiple-github-accounts-on-one-macbook-94ff6d4ab9ca

I created a repo with my personal account, and tried to do a push with the work account, and to my surprise, it let me do this. I thought it should stop me from doing it because the work user should not have access to the personal GitHub. How can I avoid it? I want to be able to push to a personal repo with only my personal account, and to my work repos only with my work account.

The article is about managing two different SSH keys.

But if you can push, it might be because:

  • you are using an HTTPS URL
  • your work account credentials were cached (git config credential.helper: probably credential-osxkeychain on Mac: see "clear all Git credentials").
