Is it possible to use GitHub and GitLab on one machine?

Yes you can, you can share the same key between them both (ssh key) or create a new one per git server.

###Create a SSH config file

When you have multiple identity files(in your case one for gitlab and one for github) , create a SSH config file to store your various identities.

The format for the alias entries use in this example is:

Host alias 
  HostName github.com 
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity

To create a config file for two identities (workid and personalid), you would do the following:

Open a terminal window.
Edit the ~/.ssh/config file. 

If you don’t have a config file, create one.
Add an alias for each identity combination for example:

Host github
HostName github.com 
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github

Host gitlab
HostName gitlab.com 
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab

This way you can have as many accounts as you wish each one with a different ssh key attached to it.
