Multiple GitHub accounts on one computer
GitHub's Terms of Service allow one free account per person, plus a machine account for automation, so several accounts on one computer usually means a personal account next to an employer-managed one, or a team working through an organization. GitHub documents an account switcher for the website, separate sign-ins for Git, SSH keys and the CLI, device verification and roles for teams. These guides cover switching, sign-in checks, the rules, organization access and separate browser profiles.
