SSH config for Git

If you don’t want to execute git command with password, you can do the following:

1. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]" -f ~/path/key1

2. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]" -f ~/path/key2

3. vi ~/.ssh/config

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

   # github.com Host github.com HostName github.com User $username IdentityFile ~/path/key1 # gitlab.com Host gitlab.com HostName gitlab.com User $username IdentityFile ~/path/key2

   Note: you can distinguish different repository with custom Host, then you should replace HostName with Host.

4. if you configure it in windows, maybe you need to configure the ssh-agent

   1 2 3 4

   eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" ssh-add ~/path/key1 ssh-add ~/path/key2 ssh-add -l # do this for ensure had add correctly

Now you can use git protocol without password. Just test as following:

1
2

ssh -T [email protected]
ssh -T [email protected]
