That was what I wanted to corroborate, thank you very much for your time and responses, unfortunately, gh does not satisfy my needs for now, I work principally with Neovim, so my terminal it's my best friend when I work haha. But, yeah, I really need to use different ssh keys. |

The only solution I found is change the Host for my personal key, removing the suffix -me
So I can use gh normally my personal account with ssh, but if a want to switch the host to use gh with ssh in my both accounts I must create a bash script to replace that host in my .ssh/config when I will make a |

@cybrhippy you can target different hosts right now using This discussion was about having multiple accounts on a single instance of GitHub and switching between them. If you have any further questions about targeting different hosts, please let me know (maybe open a new discussion if it's really about different hosts rather than different accounts on a single host). Cheers. |
