Check what git remote -v returns  the account used to push to an http url is usually embedded into the remote url itself   https   Fre123 github com       If that is the case  put an url which will force Git to ask for the account to use when pushing   git remote set-url origin https   github com  lt user gt   lt repo gt    Or one to use the Fre1234 account   git remote set-url origin https   Fre1234 github com  lt user gt   lt repo gt    Also check if you installed your Git For Windows with or without a credential helper as in this question     The OP Fre1234 adds in the comments      I finally found the solution    Go to  Control Panel - gt  User Accounts - gt  Manage your credentials - gt  Windows Credentials      Under Generic Credentials there are some credentials related to Github    Click on them and click  Remove     That is because the default installation for Git for Windows set a Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows  See git config --global credential helper output  it should be manager

If you want to change the user at git Bash  You just need to configure particular user and email globally  at the git bash    git config --global user name  quot abhi quot    git config --global user email  quot abhi xyz com quot   Note  No need to delete the user from Keychain

For any OS This helped me so I ll put it here  just in case  Once you are done with adding the rsa keys for both the accounts  add a config file in your  ssh directory for both the accounts   ssh config    First account Host github com- lt FIRST ACCOUNT USERNAME HERE gt     HostName github com    User git    IdentityFile    ssh id rsa user1       Second account Host github com- lt SECOND ACCOUNT USERNAME HERE gt        HostName github com    User git    IdentityFile    ssh id rsa user2  Make sure you use the correct usernames and RSA files  Next  you can open the terminal git bash on the repository root and check which account you would be pushing from git config user email  Suppose this returns the first user email and you want to push from the second user  Change the local user name and user email   git config user name  quot SECOND USER quot  git config user email  quot SECOND USER example com quot    This won t change the global config and you can have the first user set up as the global user   Once done  you can confirm with git config user email and it should return the email of the second user  You re all set to push to GitHub with the second user  The rest is all the same old git add   git commit and git push  To push from the first user  change the local user name again and follow the same steps  Hope it helps     If the above steps are still not working for you  check to see if you have uploaded the RSA keys within GitHub portal  Refer to GitHub documentation  Then  clear your ssh cached keys Reference ssh-add -D  Then add you 2 ssh keys ssh-add    ssh id rsa user1 ssh-add    ssh id rsa user2  Then type in your terminal  ssh -T git github com- lt SECOND ACCOUNT USERNAME HERE gt   You should see the following output  Hi  lt SECOND USERNAME gt   You ve successfully authenticated  but GitHub does not provide shell access   Then  assign the correct remote to your local repository  Make sure you put the same username as the one you gave in your  ssh config file next to Host  In the following case git github com- lt SECOND ACCOUNT USERNAME HERE gt   git remote rm origin git remote add origin git github com- lt SECOND ACCOUNT USERNAME HERE gt   your username your repository git
