Can I log in to two GitLab accounts on the same computer?

GitLab is a very popular code hosting platform that helps developers manage projects quickly and efficiently. But sometimes, we need to use multiple GitLab accounts at the same time to handle different projects or collaborative work at the same time. So, can the same computer log in to two GitLab accounts? The answer is yes, and here’s how to do it.

Method 1: Use different browsers to log in

The easiest way is to use different browsers to log in to different GitLab accounts. For example, log in to one account in Chrome browser and another account in Firefox browser. The advantage of this is that the two accounts are managed using different browsers, without interfering with each other and easy to maintain. The only disadvantage is that multiple browsers need to be installed and configured, which takes up computer resources.

Method 2: Use GitLab multi-account function

GitLab provides convenient multi-account management functions. Through this method, you can log in to multiple GitLab accounts in the same browser and switch easily. The specific steps are as follows:

1. While logged in with the first account, click the account icon in the upper right corner and select "New personal access token".

2. Set access token. You can set the validity date, token name and other information. Click "Create personal access token" to generate a token.

3. Copy the token to the clipboard.

4. Open the GitLab website in a new browser tab and log in to the second account.

5. Click the avatar in the upper right corner, open the drop-down menu, and select "Settings".

6. In the left menu, select "Access tokens".

7. Click the "Create personal access token" button, fill in the token information, and paste the token copied in the first step into the "Token" box.

8. Click the "Create personal access token" button. At this point, the token for the second account has been generated.

9. Return to the first browser tab, click the avatar in the upper right corner, open the drop-down menu, and select "Settings".

10. In the left menu, select "Access tokens".

11. Copy the token set in the second step into the "Token" box.

12. Click "Create personal access token". At this point, the token for the first account has also been set.

13. Now, two GitLab accounts are logged in to different tabs of a browser, and each has generated its own access token. You can easily switch between the two accounts by clicking the account name in the avatar drop-down menu.

To sum up, the same computer can log in to two GitLab accounts, you can use different browsers to log in, or you can use the multi-account function provided by GitLab. Both methods are very simple and easy to implement, and can easily maintain multiple projects at the same time.
