"log out" from old github account and use other one for smartgit

Question

For some obscure reason it doesnt seem straightforward to change of account in smartgit: I had an old account that I would like not to use to commit things in another repo. Despite removing everything in Edit->Preferences->Authentification Smartgit is still not asking me for new credentials ... I don't know what I am missing here

Answer 1

Check Edit|Preferences, section Hosting Provider, GitHub here: you most likely will have Use OAuth token for repository authentication selected. This makes SmartGit authenticate for any of your GitHub repositories with its application access token, so it won't ask for repository-specific credentials anymore.

To solve your problem, just reconfigure the GitHub hosting provider for your new account.
