There are a lot of Questions on here and the web about Multiple "GitHub" accounts...

But I have an issue where I need to use two Git solutions;

  • I need to be working on a GitHub account, already setup and working.
  • We are migrating across to Atlassian Stash, another Git provider, so for the time being I need to work on both.

Forgive my ignorance as a WebDev, I try to stay away from system settings and command prompt.

But as I understand it, "Git" not "GitHub" is managed locally with global credentials and configurations.

So running these commands will bump me off of GitHub; git config --global user.name "Will Hancock" git config --global user.email "will.hancock@webtekkers.com"

Here's an Idea... If I used the same email and same password on both would that work?!? Like ONE Git credentials, then the repo is configured on a per repo basis?

Have I understood this correctly?!?

I am reluctant to "mess around" and have a play, as these are not my repo's and I need to be able to work today.

It sounds like you want to change the git repository remote connections. When cloning on github to your local machine the remote connection in your local git-repo is the "origin" remote. You need to point that to Stash instead of GitHub. Other than that you should be fine.

git remote set-url origin "git://your.stash.repo.domain/yourproject.git"
