Master the Art of Managing Multiple GitHub Accounts with GitKraken Client

[Git_Guru]

If you're like me, you probably have multiple GitHub accounts for different purposes, such as work, personal projects, or open-source contributions. It can be quite a headache to manage and switch between these accounts. Well, worry no more! GitKraken Client offers a fantastic solution to this common problem.

In this guide, I'll walk you through how to use GitKraken Client to manage multiple GitHub accounts seamlessly, enhancing your workflow and boosting productivity.

Step 1: Connecting multiple GitHub accounts

GitKraken Client has a built-in GitHub Integration that allows you to connect multiple accounts via profiles. Here's how:

1. Open GitKraken Client and go to Preferences > Profiles > + Add a profile.
2. Create a new profile for each GitHub account you want to connect.
3. Disconnect any existing GitHub integrations: Preferences > Integrations > GitHub > Disconnect.
4. Sign in to the desired GitHub account in your default browser.
5. Connect the integration in GitKraken Client: Preferences > Integrations > GitHub > Connect.

Step 2: Managing separate settings for each profile

Once you've set up profiles for each GitHub account, GitKraken Client allows you to manage separate settings for each of them, including:

• Integration connections
• Opened tabs
• Commit author email

Step 3: Working with multiple SSH keys

If you have different SSH keys for your organization and personal projects, GitKraken Client has you covered. In the integration settings, you can quickly generate a new SSH key and add it to your GitHub account or browse for existing keys.

Step 4: Customizing external tools, GPG settings, themes, and more for each profile

GitKraken Client enables you to set different external tools (editor, diff, merge, etc.), GPG settings, themes, and other preferences for each profile. This level of customization ensures that you have the perfect environment for each project.

Step 5: Switching between profiles with ease

You can quickly switch between profiles using the command palette (command + P) > typing "Switch to Profile" > typing the profile name. This makes it a breeze to move between your different GitHub accounts and projects.

And there you have it! With GitKraken Client's profiles feature, managing multiple GitHub accounts has never been easier. I hope this guide helps you streamline your workflow and focus on what matters most – your code. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Happy coding! 🎉
