How do I add a Git Hub account?

Ralph Johnson October 16, 2014

SourceTree installation included a prompt to add an account.  Drop down menu listed BitBucket, Git Hub, and I think one other.  I picked BitBucket because I was in the process of activating that account.  Now I'd like to add Git Hub as another account.  How?

It's academic. I was in the middle of a ruby on rails tutorial, begun using ruby 1.9.3 as installed by RailsInstaller (where everything is automatically installed and I don't have to learn a bunch of new stuff just to get it to run). Mid-tutorial, it required ruby 2.0.0, and simultaneously switched from GitHub to BitBucket. BitBucket suggested SourceTree. I didn't want to cut myself off from all previous work so thought I should set up an account for Git Hub as well. Apparently doesn't work that way. None of this matters anyway, because I can't figure out how to use ruby 2.0 with the current configuration (or change the configuration to utilize it). Everything is a 26 step process, and none of the steps are adequately explained without consulting 35 different bulletin boards with only partial answers, which have to pieced together like a Rube Goldberg machine. I would use an expletive here, except it would probably get me banned from this forum. Sorry for asking the same question twice, didn't mean to. Newb. Klutz. Sorry.

Do you want to add it as a second remote to the same repository, or do you want to manage a second repository with SourceTree?
