Hi JC, this was a great video. Hope you make some more!

[@MuhammadM1998]

Thanks a lot for the really amazing video! One IMPORTANT note is in the `.gitconfig` file ur putting the `[user]` part in the end while in order to work correctly it has to be on top of `[includeIf]` part

[@komalthecoolk]

Clearly it is working for him every day even with [user] at the bottom.

[@MuhammadM1998]

@@komalthecoolk I don't know how you're sure it working for him every day. But have you followed the exact steps and its working for you correctly?

[@UtaShirokage]

If you get the wrong user when you commit make sure to run "git config user.email "Your email"" and the same for user.name in your local repo.

[@veaxvoid]

[@samrathchauhan1271]

Very nice and smooth explanation. Thanks a lot 🙏.

[@1diazdev]

Everything works fine and I am able to work with both accounts on the same computer. However, the commits are getting published under the same account. In other words, it is using my personal account as the default for my personal and work github account. How can I change that? Does it matter if I am login into VScode with my personal account? Thank you again

[@NoName-oo3vj]

did you found solution to this issue?

[@jethanpaul818]

this happens if you set global (default) your user name and email of the personal account therefore if you are in the directory you want to commit using your work account change the user name and email using git config user.name "your name" and git config user.email "your work email" and thus if you commit it will show your work account and name

[@rajeshgurusamy7608]

Thank you for a wonderful walkthrough of the topic.

[@Sjon_E]

For some reason the seperate configs are only seen by git if I'm in a subfolder of the folder listed. So even if I have my work config pointed to C:/user/documents/work, cloning will be asking for the wrong ssh.

[@joaopaulo0903]

thank you so much. i've used this tutorial two times

[@manarmohammad8232]

can I ask how to publish already existing project to a repo if I have two accounts

[@Sjon_E]

great video, followed everthing but still seem to be asked for a password every time I do a pull/push

thanks alot you saved my day

[@ariadnamaldonado3524]

I have WSL, so I use an ubuntu console on my Windows PC. Does this still work or do I have to do something different?

[@LP5]

Hey any tips on how I could test my app (that uses GH SSOs) and my sign up flow? I'm running out of GH accounts to test with... Got all my family members in lol please help!

[@paaskanama]

This is not working. I am experiencing a "Bad owner or permissions" error when attempting to authenticate the keys.

[@sfgamingofficial6630]

Thanks a lot Brother 😍😍😍

[@DuyNguyen-wl6bx]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@lucasteo5015]

For some reason whenever i leave the global user name and email in the main config, the sub config won't work, init and commit new repo in their corresponding folder will directly be using global user instead of sub config user. I have no choice but to comment out global user, but this forces me to no commit anything outside of those 2 folders

[@lucasteo5015]

Okay, for those who're interested in setting the sub config up, do be aware that [includeIf] needs to be placed after the field that you want to override, in this case under [user]. This way it will first pick up the global user name then overridden by the included config, finally to test it out just init a repo within the target folder, cd into the repo then do "git config user.name", this should be the name within your sub config.

[@metamodern7648]

@@lucasteo5015 absolutely correct pal! I've reached the same problem and solution was the same: just move includeIf after the [user] block. JC, if you see this comment: thanks for the video, it was really really helpful, hope you get more subscribers sooner or later. If you can, please include an annotation or a note into the video itself, cause by this logic it has a mistake. thank you
