Remember the last time you had to juggle between your work and personal Git accounts? Or that moment when you needed to switch between different client repositories but got stuck in an authentication loop? We've all been there, and it's not fun.
Today, we're thrilled to announce a new feature that solves these headaches: multi-account Git provider support in Daytona. No more logging in and out, no more authentication confusion, and definitely no more "wrong account" commits.
Work With Multiple Git Accounts, Seamlessly
Many developers manage multiple Git accounts - perhaps one for work, another for personal projects, or separate accounts for different clients. Now Daytona lets you configure multiple accounts for the same Git provider, switching between them effortlessly.
Key Features
Multiple Tokens: Add several authentication tokens for a single Git provider
Easy Identification: Assign aliases to each configuration for quick recognition
Smart Selection: Automatic token selection based on repository access
Manual Control: Override automatic selection when needed
How It Works
Assuming you possess three GitHub accounts, you need to execute the command daytona git-provider add github for each of them. Once you run the command, an interactive prompt will guide you to configure the provider for each respective account.
Daytona intelligently handles authentication:
When accessing a repository, it automatically tries available tokens
The first successful token is used for the project
You can override this by specifying --git-provider-config
Real-World Applications
Manage separate work and personal GitHub accounts
Handle multiple client GitLab instances
Switch between different organization accounts seamlessly
Update to the latest version of Daytona to start using multiple Git accounts. Check our documentation for configuration details.
Tomorrow brings another exciting announcement - see you then!
