I have two accounts on GitHub: Personal and work. How do I access both from the same computer without getting them confused? I have two different ssh keys and use .ssh/config to do the right thing. Some bash aliases also help.

Why?

Why is it important to me that I keep these two accounts separate?

First, certain repos can only be accessed from one account or the other. Public repos can be accessed from either, but private repos are not so lucky.

Second, I want the commit logs for different projects should reflect whether I am “Tom the person” or “Tom the employee”. My work-related repos shouldn’t be littered with my personal email address.
