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.

The ~/.ssh/config file is case sensitive by definition when it comes to Host and HostName. Try bitbucket.org for one and Bitbucket.org for another. You will have to change the remote URL accordingly to pick up the correct identity.

Good luck, Randall

Sam Millman· Jan 10, 2018, 16:01 UTC · re: Randall S. Becker · lore

That would mean I would need to change the case for a letter everytime I have a repo with a new key, that would mean I would be restricted to 12 client repos at a time :\, seems very hacky to me

The combinatorics of it is Sum i=1 to n.(i) = 78.

You can also use BUtbucket.org, bUTbucket.org, etc., BUTbucket.org, etc., etc.

Hacky, maybe, but it has worked that way for a long time. Why do you need more than 78 identities? Bitbucket allows you to be on multiple projects with the same identity.

This might just be a special case of the problem of some hosting providers picking only the first key you provide, as described in this thread: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180103102840.27897-1-avarab@gmail.com/

If so, you either need to hack around this with ssh host aliases, or a custom GIT_SSH_COMMAND.

Sam Millman· Jan 10, 2018, 16:02 UTC · re: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason · lore

I actually played a bit more and got this:

Host * IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_d IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host bitbucket_1 User git HostName bitbucket.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_d

Host bitbucket_2 User git HostName bitbucket.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

And from basic testing it seems to actually work, it seems it is the Host * that make sit work and it will actually iterate the keys and try them.

Not sure why this is, any thoughts?

May I, with respect, ask you to take this to the OpenSSH email list? (openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org) I think the discussion better belongs there and you're likely to get more detailed information from that team. Sincerely, Randall

Does the ssh.exe come from OpenSSH? I thought it was Git's implementation of the SSH protocol
