Running Git on multiple computers

I'm new to the whole concept of distributed version control systems and current I'm in the process of moving my open source projects to Github.

The question is this:

I have two computers that I usually work with targeting the same repository at GitHub.

Do those two machines have to be set up in a way so that git can distinguish the one from the other? Do I need two public keys or something?

Git doesn’t need to distinguish anything. You might want to include both machines’ public keys in GitHub’s repository configuration so you can push and pull without a password. You also have to make sure your committer information (user.name and user.email, see git config --help) are set correctly on both machines. Apart from that you should be good to go.
