Let's say I'm user1 and I have a Github account at http://github.com/user1. Naturally, I'd set up git locally as so:
origin [email protected]:user1/repo.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:user1/repo.git (push)
What would I do if I have fetch & push permissions to someone else's repo (let's say user2) whose repo is located at http://github.com/user2/user2srepo.git?
EDIT:
Sorry, everyone is right with their answers. I should have clarified that I used to have it set up as origin http://github.com/user2/user2srepo.git but I wanted to avoid being asked for user credentials every single time I pushed.

As we know we can push code on Github repository with HTTP or SSH. I prefer SSH because we need to configure an account only once. Yes, If you are right we want to push on different account means we need to generate SSH key for every account. Step 2: Now It time to attach the key with your second Github account.
Click the "Collaborators" tab. Start typing the collaborator's username. Select the user from the drop-down menu. Click Add.
The Owner needs to give the Collaborator access. On GitHub, click the settings button on the right, then select Collaborators, and enter your partner's username. To accept access to the Owner's repo, the Collaborator needs to go to https://github.com/notifications. Once there she can accept access to the Owner's repo.
Nobody can push directly to your repository if you are not already granting them write access. The process for contributing to a public repository in GitHub starts by forking the repository, then pushing the change onto the forked, then creating a pull request onto the original repository.
Assuming your github repos are both for the same codebase, you can add them both as remotes to your local repo:
git remote add otherusersorigin http://github.com/user2/user2srepo.git
Then use that alias whenever you need it:
git fetch otherusersorigin
git push otherusersorigin
To do this with no authentication prompt, set up SSH keys for your self according the standard GitHub instructions and get the other person to add you as a collaborator on that repo.

Turns out it's easier than I thought. Thanks to the help of @MattGibson and @eykanal in the comments, I realized that I could just set the remote as follows:
origin [email protected]:user2/user2srepo.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:user2/user2srepo.git (push)
The difference here being that the user is setup as user2 and not my own username. I mistakenly thought I'd need to enter user2's credentials, but that's not the case if I've been set as a collaborator on user2srepo.
For those interested, the command to set this if you already have the remote set is as follows:
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:user2/user2srepo.git
