Have you ever faced a situation where you need to use multiple SSH Keys for different repositories on a single server? If yes, then you are indeed not alone. Many developers face this situation, and this blog is for them. This blog will give you a complete understanding of how multiple SSH-Key can be helpful for you and how you can use those.
With the help of SSH keys, a developer can connect to a remote server using a secure network connection. SSH-keys also permits the developer to access their remote repositories without being asked to enter user names or passwords every time.
You can quickly generate SSH Keys on your server using ssh-keygen by using the following command.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -c "first key"
After using this command, you'll be prompted to enter the output file location and the name. SSH keys are usually stored in the .ssh directory. Feel free to use any location and name of your choice.
Let's use this dummy location for example: ~/.ssh/key1
Here key1 is the name for SSH keys. Once done, two files (Private and Public Key) will be saved in the output directory.
Use the same steps to generate one more SSH Key and name it key2
After setting up SSH Keys, add the Public Key to the GitHub Repository. To add the SSH key in the GitHub Repo, Navigate to Repository < Setting < Deploy Keys.
Add both the keys to two different repositories (Public or Private).
Now it's time to add SSH Keys in the SSH Config File on the server. This allows SSH to identify which key to use for the host.
Let's use the vi editor to edit the SSH Config (~/.ssh/config) file. Open the file using vi ~/.ssh/config and paste the following in the file.
Host private-repo-1
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key1
Host private-repo-2
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key2
Here Host represents the Repository's name, and IdentityFile means the file's location.
That's all you need to do. Now to clone the repo, use the following command.
git clone <Host>:<Username-Org_Name>/<Repository_Name>
For example, I have a private repository with the name hashnode, and in the SSH config file (Step 3), I've set Host to hashnode, so the command will be:
git clone hashnode:myusername/hashnode
And that's just it!
