Multiple SSH Keys settings for different github account

Create different public keys for each Github/Gitlab account

• ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

for example, 2 keys created at:

~/.ssh/id_rsa-j1g54w
~/.ssh/id_rsa-itmagix

then, add these two keys as following

$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa-j1g54w
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa-itmagix

you can delete all cached keys before

$ ssh-add -D

finally, you can check your saved keys

$ ssh-add -l

Modify the ssh config

$ cd ~/.ssh/
$ touch config
$ subl -a config

Then added

#j1g54w account
Host github.com-j1g54w
	HostName github.com
	User git
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-j1g54w

#itmagix account
Host github.com-itmagix
	HostName github.com
	User git
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-itmagix

Clone you repo and modify your Git config

clone your repo

cd and modify git config

$ git config user.name "j1g54w"
$ git config user.email "[email protected]" 

$ git config user.name "itmagix"
$ git config user.email "[email protected]"

or you can have global git config

	$ git config --global user.name "j1g54w"
	$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

then use normal flow to push your code

	$ git add .
	$ git commit -m "your comments"
	$ git push
