  • Git setup

    • Personal account with SSH keys

      Step 1. Goto .ssh folder and generate ssh keys for all your github accounts

      cd ~/.ssh
      
      # If no present create one 
      mkdir .ssh

      Step 2. Make rsa key pair

      # For personal email ID
      ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
      
      # Save as personal ID
      id_rsa_pratham82
      
      # For work email ID
      ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
      
      # Save as work ID
      id_rsa_prathameshedulab
      

      Step 3. Copy and paste the RSA key to the respective github account

      cat id_rsa_pratham82.pub
      # Copy the ouput to SSH Keys/ Add new
      
      cat id_rsa_prathameshedulab.pub
      # Copy the ouput to SSH Keys/ Add new

      Step 4: Create config file in .ssh folder And add below configs

      vim config
      
      # Copy paste the following
      # Personal account - default config
      Host github.com-pratham82
         HostName github.com
         User git
         IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_pratham82
      # Work account
      Host github.com-prathameshedulab
         HostName github.com
         User git
         IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_prathameshedulab

      Step 5. Make a common .gitconfig

      vim ~/.gitconfig
      # Copy pasete the follwoing in the file
      [user]
          name = pratham82
          email = [email protected]
      [includeIf "gitdir:~/Work/"]
          path = ~/Work/.gitconfig
      
      # Making gitcofig for "Work" direcotry
      cd ~/Work
      vim .gitconfig
      [user]
          name = prathameshedulab
          email = [email protected]

      Step 6. Remove all identities

      # Go to .ssh
      cd ~/.ssh
      
      # Remove all identites
      ssh-add -D
      
      # Add the identites
      ssh-add id_rsa_pratham82
      ssh-add id_rsa_prathameshedulab
      
      # Verify if all identites are added
      ssh-add -l

      Step 7: Check configuration is right by pinging to github with below commands

      # Check with personl account
      ssh -T github.com-pratham82
      
      # Check with work account
      ssh -T github.com-prathameshedulab
