Why is it better to have multiple gitHub accounts?

Question

GitHub

Hello, what is the use of creating multiple Github accounts?
If you have several accounts, how do you split them or what do you use them for?
If I have one account and everything is in a bunch (three different directions) is it good or bad, and how will this affect the job search?

PS Sorry for the chaotic question, but I really want to understand this)

Answer 1

No, multiple accounts are not better at all.
But sometimes there is a forced situation when you do not want or cannot store some repositories under one account.
Sometimes you have a personal and work account, with different access.
Well, or two personal ones, also with different access and different tasks, you don’t want to connect them with each other.
But for the most part, one account is enough, and personal repositories can simply be made private.

Answer 2

There are personal accounts of developers, and there are accounts of the organization. If we make a startup with friends, then we create an organization account, and everyone is invited there, because the shared code cannot be in someone's personal account being a common property. And if I do the project myself, then, of course, it is in my personal account. 2nd is not needed for 100 years.

Answer 3

Personally, I have two accounts on github, but I had to create the second one because github, due to US sanctions, forbade me to create private repositories on my first account. And in general, now I like it. On my work laptop, I only have my work account with the possibility of private repos. And on my personal account, my main, public one, and there I deal with it as a portfolio, I constantly publish new repos, they are all public, and this arrangement is very convenient, pet projects and working projects are clearly separated.
But here it’s like anyone, it seems to me personally that more than two is already “porridge”

Answer 4

For example, you are connected to a closed repo of an organization and there the requirement is strictly 2FA.
And you don't need 2FA for your personal repos.
You have to keep 2 different accounts with different authorization.
Well, that is, yes, this is a necessary measure and it never adds convenience (especially with managing ssh keys then it's fun).
