How to set the current account in Git

When we use Git for version control, we often encounter situations where we need to switch to different git accounts. For example, we may need to use different git accounts in different warehouses, or we may need to use different git accounts in different teams.

So, how to set the current account in Git? This article will introduce you to how to set up the current account in Git.

Step One: Create SSH Key

If you have not created an SSH Key on your local computer, you need to perform this step first. If you have already created an SSH Key, you can skip this step.

Open the terminal (or Git Bash) and enter the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "你的邮箱"

Among them, "your email" needs to be replaced with the email address bound to your GitHub account.

You will then be prompted to set the storage location of the SSH Key and enter the password and other information. These can be set according to personal preferences.

After completion, you can find two files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in the ~/.ssh folder. This is what we need SSH Key.

Step 2: Add the SSH Key to the GitHub account

Add the SSH Key to GitHub to establish a connection between the local computer and the GitHub account.

First, log in to your GitHub account, click on your profile picture in the upper right corner of the page, and select "Settings" in the drop-down menu.

Find "SSH and GPG keys" in the left column of the page and click "New SSH key".

Enter a title (used to describe the local computer) in the pop-up window, and paste the contents of the id_rsa.pub file generated in the previous step in the "Key" field.

After completion, click the "Add SSH key" button to successfully add the SSH Key.

Step 3: Set up the current account

On the local computer, open the terminal (or Git Bash) and enter the following command:

git config --global user.name "你的用户名"
git config --global user.email "你的邮箱"

Among them, "your username " and "Your Email" respectively correspond to the username and bound email address of your GitHub account.

If you want to set up a different account and use it in the warehouse, you only need to remove --global from the above command to set it for the current warehouse.

After completing the above steps, you can successfully set up the current account. When using Git for version control, you can automatically identify the account currently used and operate according to the settings.

It should be noted that after setting up the account, we should ensure the consistency of operations when using Git to avoid confusion. At the same time, if you need to change your account, you can repeat the above steps to set it up.

Summary

Setting the current Git account is one of the basic operations for using Git for version control. By creating an SSH Key, adding it to a GitHub account, and setting up a local account, we can easily manage different Git accounts and switch as needed. In the process of using Git, properly configuring the current account can ensure the security of the code and the consistency of the operation, and improve development efficiency.
