Detect if the user has multiple accounts, and if the one configured for the workspace might be the wrong one

[acv-bhai]

I'm using this extension with VSCode Insider and I keep receiving this notification.

What I think might be causing this issue is because I have two git accounts configured in my macos using Git Credential Manager. One for personal use and one for work use. And because of that my remote origin URL will be having username@github.com in my work related repos. is that a reason?

I have this extension working in VSCode for my personal repos for which remote url doesn't contain username.

I'm using VS Code for personal repos and VSCode insider for work repos.

Here is my VSCode Insider Details:

hey folks is there something that I'm missing or any additional information is required?

A few questions/thoughts:

• Are you signed in to VS Code with GitHub with multiple accounts? If so, you can choose which one is used with this extension.

• What is the output of git remote -v? If you have remotes that you want the extension to ignore, you can remove them from githubPullRequests.remotes.

@alexr00 many thanks for your time and response. Yes I have multiple accounts logged in. Your screenshot helped me to figure out the mistake and now its sorted. Thanks again for your support.

@TylerLeonhardt FYI. I've seen a couple times that folks are having a hard time finding this.

This functionality is also in a few other places:

• right click on an extension in the the extension list -> Account Preferences
• (new in 1.104) a command in the Command Palette for Managing Account Preferences

... besides adding yet another item to the Account menu, I'm not sure where else to put this tbh

@TylerLeonhardt and I discussed this. If we can detect in the PR extension that you might be using the wrong account, then we should show a modal dialog and then run the "Manage account preferences" command.
