Logout and login as another user git bash

Question

I want to logout from Git bash and login it again as another user .

I have googled but can't find any solution.

Answer 1

You don't have to "logout" or "login": regarding git, who you are is determined by:

git config user.name
git config user.email

Change those two settings while being in a repo, if you are someone else, when it comes to creating commits.

If you want to change it in your local machine for all repos, add --global like

git config --global user.name [your username]

---

As suggested by the Deepak swain's answer, you can also change credentials in Windows using the Credentials Manager by typing in the console:

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

As Kartik Ranpise answer's and Stuart Axon's contribution

But Credentials are about git remote -v, that is with the user account you will use to push to the upstream repo.

• for an HTTPS url, you can simply specify a new user
• for ssh, you would need a ~/.ssh/config file referring to multiple private ssh keys (also described here). In which case, the Credential Manager would not be involved.

Answer 2

use

git config --global user.name [Your User name]

git config --global user.email [Your Email]

Answer 3

For Windows User: Follow Instructions: Control Panel >> User Account >> Credential Manager >> Windows Credential >> Generic Credential You can change git credential click modify>>provide uname and password Or you can remove git credential. next time when you'll push repo it'll ask you for credential.

Answer 4

If you are using GitHub CLI you can use gh auth status to see the current logged account. gh auth login and gh auth logout allow login and logout as required.
