I am trying, for the sake of PhpStorm, to get multiple SSH keys working using git . exe, which means no GitBash.

I can get the keys to work just fine with GitBash.

I edited my .ssh/config to look like (I know this is incorrect):

Host bitucket . org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa1

Host bitbucket . org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

And id_rsa1 works, I can actually pick from the other repo. But, of course, id_rsa does not now.

I change to:

Host bitucket . org-dd HostName bitbucket . org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa1

Host bitbucket . org-sas HostName bitbucket . org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

And now only id_rsa works.

I also tried combining the two IdentityFile lines together like so (for some reason):

Host bitucket . org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa1 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

I have even tried running ssh-agent . exe, adding id_rsa1 to that and then running the git clone with no result.

The weird thing is, I have two public keys as well and they both load in the ssh . exe (they return errors about format), I just cannot get my ssh . exe to work with multiple private keys.
