During a software development, a team usually have different roles, each role is responsible at a certain stage of the development period. Summarizing them into a flowchart, it will show as follow:

Git vs SVN such as Perforce:

Reset Porblems

When you are using multiple accounts

The Issue exists when you have multiple github accounts and you want to use different ones in different local repos.

1. Generate new keys by running:

   ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your@email.com"
   //name it something new

2. Copy the pub key and save it to your github account ( the new account you want to add github won't accept the same key for both account, this is 1-1 mapping; so you need to generate a new key and bind it with new account):

   pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal.pub
   // go to github and add the key

3. Touch a config file and make a route in ~/.ssh:

   #Default GitHub
   Host github.com
       HostName github.com
       User git
       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
   
   #Personal GitHub
   Host github-gazcn007
       HostName github.com
       User git
       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal

4. Check saved keys by ssh-add -l:

   • if your newly created key is not there do ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal
   • • might be a good idea to delete all cached keys as well by ssh-add -D

5. Go to the repo where you need the new account's creditials and do:

   ssh -T github@github-gazcn007 // to check connectivity
   
   git remote remove origin // remove original repo
   git remote add git@github-newAccount: newAccount/SomeRepo.git
