Multi-Git Account Setup on Windows (GitHub + Bitbucket)

This repository demonstrates how to configure and manage multiple Git accounts (GitHub and Bitbucket) on a single Windows machine using separate SSH keys and SSH host aliases.

🔐 Git Accounts Used

• GitHub

  • Email: abc@gmail.com
  • SSH Key: ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github

• Bitbucket

  • Email: xyz@vinhost.com
  • SSH Key: ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket
  • Repository: vinhost/vh-ecommerce

---

⚙️ Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Generate SSH Keys

# GitHub
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "abc@gmail.com" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github

# Bitbucket
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "xyz@vinhost.com" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket

2. Add SSH Keys to SSH Agent

eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket

3. Add Public Keys to Git Services

GitHub

• Copy the public key:

  clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github.pub

• Then add it to GitHub SSH Settings

Bitbucket

• Copy the public key:

  clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket.pub

• Then add it to Bitbucket SSH Settings

4. Configure SSH with Custom Host Aliases

Create or edit ~/.ssh/config:

# GitHub
Host github.com-abc
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github

# Bitbucket
Host bitbucket.org-xyz
  HostName bitbucket.org
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket

5. Cloning Repositories

GitHub Example

git clone git@github.com-abc:your-username/your-github-repo.git

Bitbucket Example

git clone git@bitbucket.org-xyz:vinhost/ecommerce.git

6. Per-Repository Git Config

Set identity info for each repo:

# Inside GitHub repo
git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "abc@gmail.com"

# Inside Bitbucket repo
git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "xyz@vinhost.com"

7. Verification

To test which key is being used:

ssh -T git@bitbucket.org-xyz
ssh -T git@github.com-abc
