Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-personal-account/managing-multiple-accounts.md

What changes are you suggesting?

This doc mentions that for each local folder the credential manager will ask for an access token, but I don't think this is true. For each clone URL it will ask for a credential, but if you clone the same repo twice on the same machine, it shouldn't care if the clone was made into 2 separate folders.

Additional information

The useHttpPath property uses the clone url to store the access token. It doesn't care about the local working folder.
