Handling Multiple Github Accounts on MacOS

The only way I've succeeded so far is to employ SSH.

Assuming you are new to this like me, first I'd like to share with you that your Mac has a SSH config file in a .ssh directory. The config file is where you draw relations of your SSH keys to each GitHub (or Bitbucket) account, and all your SSH keys generated are saved into .ssh directory by default. You can navigate to it by running cd ~/.ssh within your terminal, open the config file with any editor, and it should look something like this:

Host *
 AddKeysToAgent yes

> UseKeyChain yes

Step 1 - Create a New SSH Key

We need to generate a unique SSH key for our second GitHub account.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your-email-address"

Be careful that you don't over-write your existing key for your personal account. Instead, when prompted, save the file as id_rsa_COMPANY. In my case, I've saved the file to ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work.

	#!/usr/bin/env node
	const axios = require('axios');
	const FormData = require('form-data');
	const fs = require('fs');

	const filePath = __dirname + '/../accept-http-post-file/cookie.jpg';
	fs.readFile(filePath, (err, imageData) => {
	if (err) {
	throw err;
	}

	RUN \
	curl -sfLO http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick-6.9.0-4.tar.gz && \
	echo 'cf51a1c6ebf627c627a8e6ac20aecce5f1425907c2cdb98c5a60f329c5c6caf2 ImageMagick-6.9.0-4.tar.gz' \| sha256sum -c - && \
	tar -xzf ImageMagick-6.9.0-4.tar.gz && \
	cd ImageMagick-6.9.0-4 && \
	./configure --prefix /usr/local && \
	make install && \
	cd .. && \
	rm -rf ImageMagick*
