Logout and login as another user git bash

Question

You don’t have to “logout” or “login”: regarding git, who you are is determined by:

git config user.name
git config user.email

Change those two settings while being in a repo, if you are someone else, when it comes to creating commits.

If you want to change it in your local machine for all repos, add –global like

git config --global user.name [your username]

As suggested by the Deepak swain’s answer, you can also change credentials in Windows using the Credentials Manager by typing in the console:

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

As Kartik Ranpise answer’s and Stuart Axon’s contribution

But Credentials are about git remote -v, that is with the user account you will use to push to the upstream repo.

for an HTTPS url, you can simply specify a new user
for ssh, you would need a ~/.ssh/config file referring to multiple private ssh keys (also described here). In which case, the Credential Manager would not be involved.
