Multiple SSh Account

Multiple ssh accounts - Intellij

Step 1: create ssh keys
Create any keypairs you'll need. I've named my default/original 'id_rsa' (which is the default) and 'id_rsa-work' for company work.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C [email protected] -f id_rsa
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C [email protected] -f id_rsa_work
Step 2: ssh config
Set up multiple ssh profiles by creating/modifying ~/.ssh/config. Note the slightly differing 'Host' values

# Personal GitHub
Host github.com
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    UseKeychain yes
    User          git
    HostName github.com
    PreferredAuthentications publickey
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Work GitHub
Host work.github.com
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    UseKeychain yes
    User          git
    HostName github.com
    PreferredAuthentications publickey
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work
Step 3: ssh-add
You may or may not have to do this. To check, list identity fingerprints by running:

bash
$ ssh-add -l
2048 1f:1a:b8:69:cd:e3:ee:68:e1:c4:da:d8:96:7c:d0:6f [email protected] (RSA)
2048 6d:65:b9:3b:ff:9c:5a:54:1c:2f:6a:f7:44:03:84:3f [email protected] (RSA)
If your entries aren't there then run:

bash
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work
Step 4: test ssh key
To test you've done this all correctly, I suggest the following quick check:

bash
$ ssh -T [email protected]
H Rossbu! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
$ ssh -T [email protected]
H xxx! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Step 5: Add below to ~/.gitconfig

[includeIf "gitdir:~/personal/"]
  path = ~/.gitconfig-personal
[includeIf "gitdir:~/work/"]
  path = ~/.gitconfig-work
Step 6: Create 2 gitconfig files for each

touch ~/.gitconfig-personal , edit with below content

[user]
 name = rossbu
 email = [email protected]
touch ~/.gitconfig-work , edit with below content

[user]
 name = work_user
 email = [email protected]
Step 7: Clone personal and work codebases

bash
$ mkdir ~/perosnal && cd ~/personal && git clone [email protected]:rossbu/email-service.git
$ mkdir ~/work && cd ~/work &&  git clone [email protected]:orgname/projectname.git
Step 8 : Open 2 workspaces in IDEA and check if 'PULL REQUEST' menu shows up.

bash
$ cd perosnal && idea .
$ cd work && idea .
