Well, if your work uses the public GitHub (github.com) and you have created a second account there for non-work-related stuff, then you have two GitHub accounts. However, I am not aware of github.com supporting multiple authentication mechanisms. Are you sure your work doesn't use a private (hosted or cloud) GitHub instance? [1] Such instances would support alternative sign-up / authentication strategies. > I'm guessing that the Apache version of the a hosting spot for git > repositories > (at gitbox.apache.org) has it's own signup conventions, which are the > account-name = your Apache ID, account pw = your Apache ID pw. You have an Apache account and you have some GitHub account. Via https://id.apache.org you can link two GitHub accounts to your Apache account. As far as I know, there are no additional signup conventions. > GitHub and GitHub(work) support multiple emails (click on your profile > picture, > pick settings, see Emails).

Yes, you can set various informations in your profile to tell people more about who you are, what you do, etc. People can see this information when they visit your public profile page, e.g. https://github.com/reckart.
