# Use more than one GitHub account in Confluence

To use more than one GitHub account in Confluence, open the Browse Git Repositories window, open the account menu and choose **Add account**, or select **Manage Connections** and then **Add Account**. The picker merges repositories from every account you link, and a macro that cannot read a file with one account tries your others.

---

## Before you start

* You have already connected one GitHub account. See [Connect your GitHub account to Confluence](https://help.gocapable.com/git/connect-your-github-account-to-confluence.html).
* In your browser, sign in to github.com as the second account first. The GitHub window authorises whichever account is signed in.

---

## Steps

1. Edit a page with a Github file macro and open its configuration, or insert a new **Github file (Capable)** macro and select **Select File**.
2. In the toolbar, open the account menu (it shows **All Accounts**) and choose **Add account**. Or select **Manage Connections**, then **Add Account**.
3. Authorise the app in the GitHub window as the second account.
4. Back in the picker, use the account menu to show **All Accounts** or just one.

---

## What happens next

**Manage Connections** lists each linked account with its avatar. The repository list combines all of them without duplicates, and the **Organization** and **Visibility** filters work across every account.

When a page loads a private file, the macro tries the account that added it first and then your other accounts, so you rarely need to think about which one has access.

---

## If it does not work

* The second account's repositories do not appear: you probably authorised the same account twice. Sign out of github.com, sign in as the other account and add it again.
* A public repository you do not belong to is missing: the picker lists your own repositories. Paste its link instead. See [Cannot find a public repository I do not belong to in the picker](https://help.gocapable.com/git/cannot-find-a-public-repository-i-do-not-belong-to-in-the-picker.html).
