Switch multiple GitHub accounts by configuring account-locked CLI aliases that bind specific identities to dedicated commands. The Skill detects logged-in accounts, maps them to personal and work identities, and creates command wrappers in your PowerShell profile for seamless switching.

Yes, you can use the gh CLI with separate identities by creating ghp and ghw command wrappers. These aliases ensure repository operations automatically apply the correct username, preventing accidental commits under the wrong account.

Set up PowerShell profile aliases by updating your profile file to include ghp and ghw wrappers, then adjusting your system PATH. This configuration allows the shell to route commands to the correct authenticated GitHub account automatically.

The best way to prevent accidental commits is using account-specific CLI aliases that lock repository operations to the correct identity. This ensures your work alias only touches company repositories and your personal alias handles private projects.

No external dependencies or modules are required. The setup relies entirely on the existing GitHub CLI, your PowerShell environment, and the ability to update your shell profile to create the necessary account-specific wrappers.

Multiple accounts in gh auth status indicate you are logged into separate personal and work GitHub identities simultaneously. Manage them by mapping each username to a dedicated alias, allowing automatic identity switching based on repository ownership.
