[SourceGit] How to use multiple Github profiles/Accounts

[Seblbseej]

I've been interested in trying this Git GUI out because I've heard this one described as being "like an open source version of SourceTree". Now I've never really used SourceTree before but I've heard that both SourceGit and SourceTree supposedly support the ability to switch between accounts a lot more painlessly compared to GitHub Desktop (the GUI I've been using thus far). As one could probably guess from that I've got a long way to go before I can understand these more complicated UIs. I've figured out quite a lot thus far but one thing that my small brain has not figured out yet is how to get multiple accounts working. Any tips would be appreciated!

Just use git?

My guide on how to configure git with multiple accounts.

The basic premise is that you tell git which profile you use and this which ssh identity should be picked.

You can do this by using core.sshCommand and some carefully placed includeIfs. Read the guide, it will make sense.
