github-multi-account

Switch GitHub accounts by creating deterministic aliases that detect accounts with gh auth status, prompt for personal or work designation, and apply PowerShell profile updates to enable single-command switching. You get dedicated shell wrappers like ghp and ghw to operate under the selected account in any repository.

Yes, GitHub multi-account aliasing works by applying PowerShell profile updates and PATH modifications to install CMD and PowerShell wrappers. These wrappers create environment-specific commands that let you execute GitHub operations under your designated personal or work account automatically.

To set up GitHub account switching, you need the gh CLI installed and two or more authenticated GitHub accounts. The setup process detects available accounts using gh auth status and prompts you to designate which account is personal and which is work before configuring the aliases.

Yes, you can use ghp and ghw commands to operate in different GitHub environments. The setup installs small CMD and PowerShell wrappers that act as shell wrappers, allowing you to run operations under your personal or work account in any repository with a single command.

GitHub account switching via aliases can fail if the gh CLI is not installed or if the PowerShell profile updates and PATH modifications were not applied correctly. The setup relies on detecting authenticated accounts with gh auth status before creating the environment wrappers.
