+# How To Work With Multiple Github Accounts on your PC
+
+Let suppose I have two github accounts, **https:/<span></span>/github.com<span></span>/rahul-office** and **https:/<span></span>/github.com<span></span>/rahul-personal**. Now i want to setup my mac to easily talk to both the github accounts.
+
+> NOTE: This logic can be extended to more than two accounts also. :)
+
+The setup can be done in 5 easy steps:
+## Steps:
+- [Step 1](#step-1) : Create SSH keys for all accounts
+- [Step 2](#step-2) : Add SSH keys to SSH Agent
+- [Step 3](#step-3) : Add SSH public key to the Github
+- [Step 4](#step-4) : Create a Config File and Make Host Entries
+- [Step 5](#step-5) : Cloning GitHub repositories using different accounts
+
+<br>
+
+## Step 1
+### Create SSH keys for all accounts
+First make sure your current directory is your **.ssh** folder.
+```sh
+     $ cd ~/.ssh
+```
+Syntax for generating unique ssh key for ann account is:
+```sh
+     ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your-email-address" -f "github-username"
+```
+here,
+
+**-C** stands for comment to help identify your ssh key
+
+**-f** stands for the file name where your ssh key get saved
+
+
+#### Now generating SSH keys for my two accounts
+```sh
+     ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" -f "github-rahul-office"
+     ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" -f "github-rahul-personal"
+```
+
+Notice here **rahul-office** and **rahul-work** are the username of my github accounts corresponding to **my_office_email<span></span>@gmail.com** and **my_personal_email<span></span>@gmail.com** email ids respectively.
+
+After entering the command the terminal will ask for passphrase, leave it empty and proceed.
+
+![Passphrase Image](https://github.com/rahularity/github-essentials/blob/master/screenshots/passphrase.png)
+
+> Now after adding keys , in your .ssh folder, a public key and a private will get generated.
+
+>The public key will have an extention __.pub__ and private key will be there without any extention both having same name which you have passed after __-f__ option in the above command. (in my case __github-rahul-office__ and __github-rahu-personal__)
+
+![Added Key Image](https://github.com/rahularity/github-essentials/blob/master/screenshots/ssh_keys_added.png)
+
+<br>
+
+## Step 2
+### Add SSH keys to SSH Agent
+Now we have the keys but it cannot be used until we add them to the SSH Agent.
+```sh
+     ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/github-rahul-office
+     ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/github-rahul-personal
+```
+
+You can read more about adding keys to SSH Agent [here.](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent)
+
+<br>
+
+## Step 3
+### Add SSH public key to the Github
+For the next step we need to add our public key (that we have generated in our previous step) and add it to corresponding github accounts.
+
+For doing this we need to:
+
+__1. Copy the public key__
+
+     We can copy the public key either by opening the github-rahul-office.pub file in vim and then copying the content of it.
+```sh
+     vim ~/.ssh/github-rahul-office.pub
+     vim ~/.ssh/github-rahul-personal.pub
+```
+
+<p align="center">OR
+
+We can directly copy the content of the public key file in the clipboard.
+
+```sh
+     pbcopy < ~/.ssh/github-rahul-office.pub
+     pbcopy < ~/.ssh/github-rahul-personal.pub
+```   
+
+
+__2. Paste the public key on Github__
+
+* Sign in to Github Account
+* Goto **Settings** > **SSH and GPG keys** > **New SSH Key**
+* Paste your copied public key and give it a Title of your choice.
+
+___OR___
+
+* Sign in to Github 
+* Paste this link in your browser (https://github.com/settings/keys) or click [here](https://github.com/settings/keys)
+* Click on **New SSH Key** and paste your copied key.
+
+<br>
+
+## Step 4
+### Create a Config File and Make Host Entries
+
+The **~/.ssh/config** file allows us specify many config options for SSH.
+
+If **config** file not already exists then create one (make sure you are in **~/.ssh** directory)
+
+```sh
+     touch config
+```
+
+The commands below opens config in your default editor....Likely TextEdit, VS Code.
+```sh
+     open config
+```
+Now we need to add these lines to the file, each block corresponding to each account we created earlier.
+```config
+     #rahul-office account
+     Host github.com-rahul-office
+          HostName github.com
+          User git
+          IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-rahul-office
+
+     #rahul-personal account
+     Host github.com-rahul-personal
+          HostName github.com
+          User git
+          IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-rahul-personal
+```
+
+<br>
+
+## Step 5
+### Cloning GitHub repositories using different accounts
+
+So we are done with our setups and now its time to see it in action. We will clone a repository using one of the account we have added.
+
+Make a new project folder where you want to clone your repository and go to that directory from your terminal.
+
+For Example:
+I am making a repository on my personal github account and naming it **TestRepo**
+Now for cloning the repo use the below command:
+ ```sh
+     git clone [email protected]{your-username}:{owner-user-name}/{the-repo-name}.git
+
+     [e.g.] git clone [email protected]:rahul-personal/TestRepo.git
+ ```
+
+ <br>
+
+ ## Finally
+
+From now on, to ensure that our commits and pushes from each repository on the system uses the correct GitHub user — we will have to configure **user.email** and **user.name** in every repository freshly cloned or existing before.
+
+To do this use the following commands.
+
+```sh
+     git config user.email "[email protected]"
+     git config user.name "Rahul Pandey"
+
+     git config user.email "[email protected]"
+     git config user.name "Rahul Pandey"
+```
+
+Pick the correct pair for your repository accordingly.
