Closed-source quality be like
I don’t post my code to Github because I still couldn’t figure out how to switch SSH keys for 2 different git servers smoothly.
If you’re using OpenSSH, the
IdentityFile
configuration directive selects the SSH key to use.Add something like this to your SSH config file (
~/.ssh/config
):Host github.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa Host gitlab.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab_rsa
This will use the
github_rsa
key for repositories hosted atgithub.com
, and thegitlab_rsa
key for repositories hosted atgitlab.com
. Adjust as needed for your key names and hosts, obviously.you dont have to switch
git will automatically select one that works
I have the same password protected ssh key for every git site i am on tho. The sites only know the public key so its fine.
I don’t know how to switch keys
“just use the same key”
bruh the Stack Overflow energy
have at it!
taken from Gitlab’s manual page for creating a key, but i wonder what else could be done to expand on it.
#~/.gitconfig [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"] path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"] path = /path/to/github.gitconfig
#example gitlab gitconfig from the included path [user] name = Your Name email = 0000000-YourName@users.noreply.gitlab.com signingkey = 0000999988887777 [commit] gpgsign = true
if all works well, Git should be able to automatically use the selected key depending on the repo’s stated remote server.
That’s GPG, not SSH.
my bad x.x
