SSH Config Snippets

Alias a host

Host convenient-name
	User username
	Hostname full-url.ssh.example.com

Use a certain SSH key for a certain host

Host ssh.example.com
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/your_private_key
	IdentitiesOnly yes

Use a certain SSH key for a certain git repo

Useful if you want/need to use different keys for different orgs.

Host github-canowyrms
	HostName github.com
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_canowyrms_rsa
	IdentitiesOnly yes

Then, set your upstream url to use your host alias. Instead of

git@github.com:Canowyrms/repo.git

use:

git@github-canowyrms:Canowyrms/repo.git
