I have two git hub accounts. I am Windows user and I use git bash as the client.I am working on a project. I can push my project to first github account. But when I try to push second one it says there is no permission.

$ git push -u origin master
remote: Permission to <secondUser>/<repo>.git denied to <firstUser>.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<secondUser>/<repo>.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Can any one suggest a way to push the project to second account.

You should use the ssh key. In the config file(usually ~/.ssh/config) you can define multiple alias for multiple accounts like this(for instance in Linux): 

Host first_name 
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key_for_first_name

Host second_name 
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key_for_second_name

Under the directory of the repository in ./.git/config you can set like this:

[remote "first_account"]
    url = git@first_name:[your_first_github_name]/[repository_name].git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/first_name/*
[remote "second_account"]
    url = git@second_name:[your_second_github_name]/[repository_name].git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/second_name/*

While pushing you can do this:

git push first_account master:master
git push second_account master:second_master

You can apply this mechanism to the windows scenario. Hope this helps.

Generate SSH key on your pc, add this ssh key in your both account. Then it works fine.
