To be fair, Github actually considers it a best practice to only have one account, but I think they really want to keep it all about the social graph.

Long ago I tried to split mine and the problem I ran into was messiness with ssh key management and I actually asked GitHub to merge them back into one. It was obvious it was a pain in the ass.

(That was 12 years ago I haven't checked if https/oauth made things better)

It's actually not too bad even with SSH. I set up host aliases (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/kinetic/en/man5/ssh_con...) that use different keys so I can just do "git clone work:realname/project" or "git clone personal:renata/sideproject".
