GitHub Community
Multiple GitHub accounts in Visual Studio #23843

I have read Authenticating to GitHub but I do not understand how to use another GitHub account. I try clicking on Manage Connections; I assume that “Connect to a project…” is not for GitHub. When I do “Connect to GitHub” the GitHub button is disabled and I assume I don’t have GitHub Enterprise. I cannot get that to work. I tried putting “https://github.com/SamHobbsOrg” into the server addres but I am not surprised that that does not work. When I click on “Create” under “GitHub” I (think I) see a drop-down for selecting a GitHub account; am I correct that that is what that drop-down is for? Is there support for more than one GitHub from VS? Oh, I realize it is actualy an extension (right) but it is provided with VS by default, right? |

Something else I have tried is to add the following to the config for a small test project/repository. VS has not asked me to authenticate this account but maybe it will later. If so then this is an indirect way to do it. I have also overriden the user name in the config file but I will be very surprised if that makes a difference. |

Okay, I found it. In the Connect window for GitHub there is a “Sign Out” link. I used that and then I was able to sign into this account (that I am posting this from). |

Hi! I’m having this problem you mention. I signed into account XX then wanted to log out, so I signed out from XX (through user icon in VS). After that I signed in with YY account and when I want to commit, it does with XX account. |

In Windows, If you clear the Windows Credentials (User) under the Manage Windows Credentials, either by removing them or re-authenticating, it would be helpful. Please let me know if that helped. |
