# Git multi-account setup
2+
3+
If you facing a **common Git multi-account configuration problem** on a **single laptop**, where:
4+
5+
* **Primary GitHub Account** (used in IntelliJ IDEA, logged in via Microsoft Edge)
6+
* **Secondary GitHub Account** (used in VS Code, logged in via Brave)
7+
* **Global Git config** supports only one user at a time (per default setup)
8+
9+
To resolve this and use **two separate GitHub accounts with different IDEs on one machine**, you need to:
10+

## ✅ Solution (Fix in 3 Steps)
14+
### 🔧 Step 1: Manually Create the .ssh Folder
15+
16+
> In PowerShell, run:
17+
18+
```bash
19+
mkdir ~/.ssh
20+
```
21+
22+
> This creates the hidden .ssh folder inside your user directory (C:\Users\akash).
23+

25+
26+
Great update — thanks!
27+
28+
From the latest messages, we can clearly see:
29+
30+
* The folder `.ssh` **already exists**
31+
* But your command `ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/...` **still failed**, saying:
32+
33+
```
34+
Saving key "~/.ssh/id_rsa_akashdip" failed: No such file or directory
35+
```
36+
37+

38+
39+
## ✅ Generate `SSH Keys` for Both Accounts
40+
41+
On Windows, PowerShell doesn't always expand `~` correctly in all commands.
42+
43+
### 🔄 Try this instead (use full path):
44+
45+
#### 🔷 For Primary (akashdip2001):
46+
47+
```powershell
48+
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "akashdipXXXXXXX@gmail.com" -f "C:\Users\akash\.ssh\id_rsa_akashdip"
49+
```
50+
51+
#### 🔶 For Secondary (Arkadip2007):
52+
53+
```powershell
54+
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "arkadipXXXXXXX@gmail.com" -f "C:\Users\akash\.ssh\id_rsa_arkadip"
55+
```
56+
57+
📌 Now it should successfully save the keys.
58+
59+
---
60+
61+
### ✅ Then copy public key with:
62+
63+
```powershell
64+
type C:\Users\akash\.ssh\id_rsa_akashdip.pub
65+
```
66+
67+
> Copy the whole line it prints (starts with `ssh-rsa ...`) and paste it into **GitHub → SSH Keys**.
68+
69+
## Steps in GitHub
70+
71+
- Copy the output.
72+
- Go to GitHub → Logged in as akashdip2001
73+
- Go to Settings → SSH and GPG keys → New SSH key
74+
- Title: Laptop SSH
75+
- Paste the key → Save.
76+
77+
### ✅ Do same with another account.

80+
81+
## Go to
82+
83+
```
84+
C:\Users\akash\.ssh
85+
```
86+
- And create the `config` file with `No` extention.
87+
- And pest it.
88+
89+
```go
90+
# Primary GitHub account
91+
Host github-akashdip
92+
HostName github.com
93+
User git
94+
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_akashdip
95+
96+
# Secondary GitHub account
97+
Host github-arkadip
98+
HostName github.com
99+
User git
100+
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_arkadip
101+
```

Go to your project folder and run:
112+
113+
```bash
114+
git remote set-url origin git@github-akashdip:userName/your-repo-name.git
115+
git config user.name "useName"
116+
git config user.email "akashdipXXXXXX@google.in"
