Ask HN: Using Personal GitHub for Work?

You're asking about a technology solution to a legal problem. Depending on the agreement between you and your employer, even a separate account may not be sufficient.

Understand that first, then determine how to best implement it.

AFAIK in California, personal work that’s done on personal devices outside of work hours aren’t accessible by your employer from a legal perspective.

Just not sure if that separation will hold up if you have a single GitHub account.

Right so then the question is a legal one about what counts as a "personal device" rather than a technical one about github auth or ssh keys or whatever. I think this reinforces the point of the person you were replying to.

Yep, the question is about what’s legally defensible!
