Managing Multiple GitHub Accounts in VS Code: A Comprehensive Guide

Managing multiple GitHub accounts in Visual Studio Code is essential for efficient workflow. To set up SSH keys, generate a key for each account using `ssh-keygen`. Add these keys to your GitHub account and configure your SSH client (`~/.ssh/config`) to associate keys with specific accounts. Test SSH connections using `ssh -T`. In VS Code, set up Git remotes using the correct SSH configurations to connect to specific repositories. This ensures seamless switching between accounts and avoids permission errors. By following these steps, you can effectively manage multiple GitHub accounts within VS Code, enhancing your development workflow.
