How to use different github.com accounts in different vscode instances #257

Open copdips opened 10 months ago

Hello,

I have 2 github.com accounts (perso and work). In order to use both under the same linux bash with git commands, I use the method described here.

# Personal GitHub account
Host github.com
 HostName github.com
 User git
 AddKeysToAgent yes
 UseKeychain yes
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Work GitHub account
Host github.com-work
 HostName github.com
 User git
 AddKeysToAgent yes
 UseKeychain yes
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_rsa

For personal githubom repos: git remote add origin git@github.com:[my work GitHub group]/[my project].git

For work github.com repos: git remote add origin git@github.com-work:[my work GitHub group]/[my project].git

With vscode, i can only authenticated to a single github.com account, is there an easier way to have both available ?
