  Had the same problem this weekend, tried with differents IdentityFile in ssh config, but didn't work.

  Finally created a github user for our public server containing our multiple apps, it's working well, but surely it could be done in a nicer way :)

  Would it be possible to define "servers" in github, so it could be used as private/public collaborators without creating a new account?

  With the e-mail from Dustin in the Google Group and with this tutorial, I came to this solution that works fine for me :

  1/ I create a ~/.ssh/config file like this one :

  Host github-project1

  HostName github.com

  IdentityFile /home/smmweb/.ssh/id_rsa_github_project1

  Host github-project2

  HostName github.com

  IdentityFile /home/smmweb/.ssh/id_rsa_github_project2

  2/ Then I can simply do that :

  git clone git@github-project1:suitmymind/project1.git

  git clone git@github-project2:suitmymind/project2.git

  Hope this helps.

  There was a subtlety in my suggestion you may have missed. It's possible to DRY that up a bit as you don't need to specify the hostname more than once as long as you have a host pattern. That is, your example could look like this:

  In your example, you can add an entry that looks like this (imagine I could format it correctly here):

  Host github-*

  Hostname github.com

  And then you don't need hostname in any of your other entries.

  I'm closing this since it seems to have been solved.

  Unfortunately, the solution I mentioned in my comment from June 17th, 2008 @ 05:53 PM do not work with Capistrano.

  I've set this in my deploy.rb file :

  set :repository, git@github-project1:suitmymind/project2.git

  But when I do a cap deploy, I get this :

  Enter passphrase for key '/home/smmweb/.ssh/id_rsa':

  Instead of

  Enter passphrase for key '/home/smmweb/.ssh/id_rsa_github_project2':

  Any idea?

  I am the two account problem, even after applying the solution from the wiki.

  When I ssh to the alias for the second account, the ssh log shows it finds the right identity key but github still identifies me as my other account name.
