Configure Git in windows like a pro

Last day when I was working on a project I faced some difficulties in pushing my commits to my secondary github account and the error which my terminal showed me a 403 unauthorized access.

Well it is preety simple , my computer have the access to push commits to my primary github account as I have configured my email in the global setting but while I am trying to push my code to my seconday github account which dosen't knows about my machine showed me unauthorised access.

Well tbh at first I thought to uninstall git from my machine so that I can reconfigure everything but I but how many times should I do that, It's not a cool approach

windows credential manager

and select windows credentials Under the generic credentail column you will find the github credential for your local computer now you can either edit it with the another github password or can completely remove it . Well I'm choosing the second one

Now quickly open up the terminal(power shell) and let's do some reverse engineering.

Now hit rm ~./gitconfig this will entirely delete the git configuration file from your machine Now hit git config --global user.name "Your Name " then hit git config --global user.email="Your email id " and finaly check everything by hitting git config --global --list Ok we are done with the globla configurations so its time for psuhing some commits to GitHub When you hit git push you will be promted with an auth pop up. Click on signup with browser

Finally check your global configurations with git config --global --list

when you are working with multiple git providers like github , gitlab or bigbucket

Having 2 github or gitlab accounts

changed username or email
