SSH with multiple accounts

ssh.md

3 steps:

• Create multi ssh key
• Add config key
• Change host to using the right key

Step 1: generate ssh key. Ex:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/key1 -C “[email protected]" ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/key2 -C "[email protected]"

Add the public key to each account.

Step 2: map keys with hosts on .ssh/config file.

Host home.projects
  User git
  Hostname gitlab.com
  PreferredAuthentications publickey
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key1

Host work.projects
  User git
  Hostname bitbucket.org
  PreferredAuthentications publickey
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key2

Step 3: Change the host name on the remote url:

ssh://git@hostname:<user_name>/<repo_name>.git

Ex: git clone [email protected]:account1/rider.git —> git clone [email protected]:account1/rider.git git clone [email protected]:account2/rider.git —> git clone [email protected]:account2/rider.git
