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

Navigate to ~/.ssh and open up the config file. By default, it should look something like this:

Host *
 AddKeysToAgent yes
 UseKeyChain yes
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
 ForwardAgent yes

Assuming you've got 2 github accounts, for work and play, lets get your Mac to "register" them. To do that that you'll need to create SSH key pairs for each account. If you have already setup your Mac to SSH with one of them, continue on with the following for the second account.

1. Creating the SSH keys. For each SSH key pairs:

• run ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

• You'll be prompted: "Enter a file in which to save the key" and the suggested default filename would be id_rsa. This filename will be used for your SSH private and public keys so remember to make it unique, eg. user-1. This step will generate both the private and public keys, user-1 and user-1.pub respectively.

2. Register the contents of the public key, e.g user-1.pub, into the respective GitHub accounts. Follow the steps here to do so

3. Head back over to the SSH config file at ~/.ssh and amend accordingly to:

#user1 account
Host github.com-user1
   HostName github.com
   User git
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-user1
   IdentitiesOnly yes

#user2 account
Host github.com-user2
   HostName github.com
   User git
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-user2
   IdentitiesOnly yes

Replace user1 or user2 with your GitHub usernames

4. Go ahead to git clone the respective GitHub account

git clone git@github.com-user1:user1/your-repo-name.git your-repo-name_user1

5. Configure your git identity:

• open up local git config git config --local -eand add:

[user]
   name = user1
   email = user1@gmail.com

6. Ensure your remote url is in the format of git@github.com-user1:user1/your-repo-name.git your-repo-name_user1

Now you can git push and pull all you like!
