Multiple Git Accounts (GitHub + Azure DevOps)

This project provides practical setup guides for using multiple Git identities on one machine — for example a work account and a private account — without mixing SSH keys, remotes, or commit identities.

What this project does

• Explains how to configure separate SSH keys per account
• Shows how to use SSH host aliases for multiple GitHub accounts
• Describes folder-based Git identity switching using includeIf
• Covers Azure DevOps alongside GitHub (and the same approach works for Git-only workflows)

✅ Why this is useful

When you work across private and company repositories, it is easy to accidentally:

• push with the wrong account
• commit with the wrong email/name
• reuse the wrong SSH key

These guides help you keep accounts cleanly isolated and make your default identity explicit.

👤 Who this is for

• Developers with both private and work projects
• Teams using GitHub for one context and Azure DevOps for another
• Anyone who needs predictable, folder-based account separation on Windows

In short
