Change credentials in github desktop

[toralf]

I use GitHub Desktop with two different accounts. One for GitHub and one for GitHub Enterprise.
When I switch between the repositories, I always have to switch my credentials for git in the options of GitHub Desktop.
This get’s annoying.
Does someone already automated this process? I couldn’t find anything by searching the forum.

Bin nicht sicher ob ich hier https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/3707 einen workaround gesehen habe, oder zumindest einen Ansatz zur Automatisierung?! HTH

I’ve seen this several times. Please post in English in the English sections of the forums even if you’re directing your comments to a German speaker. The forums are meant for everyone to be able to learn from, not just the OP. Thanks.

Thanks BoBo,
I‘m aware of that thread. Unfortunately the request is closed for now as a future enhancement.
The current workaround is to go to the preferences and change user name and email for git. Then fetch to activate the change. Then I can commit.
The problem is that I sometimes forget to do this, and then I have commits with the wrong credentials.

Bc I don't use that application it's plain brainfarting: any chance that these configuration settings are kept somewhere else (registry/file) somewhere within the git-desktop-app structure?? https://medium.com/@pinglinh/how-to-have-2-github-accounts-on-one-machine-windows-69b5b4c5b14e
