Configure SSH keys for different Assembla accounts

1) Create a new key using ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "user2@user2.com"

Be careful that you don’t overwrite your existing key for your personal account. Instead, when prompted, save the file as id_rsa_user2.

2) Add these new keys with ssh-add command:

Examples:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user1
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user2

3) Modify the SSH config:

  a) Create a config file:

      cd ~/.ssh/
      touch config

  b) Add the following data into it:

Host git.assembla.com
  HostName git.assembla.com
  User Git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/user1
Host git.assembla-user2
  HostName git.assembla.com
  User Git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/user2

4) Configure Git for a new global username:

git config --global user.name "user2"
git config --global user.email "user2@user2.com"

Example:

git config --global gshabbir
git config --global gulam@assembla.com

5) Push your files using a normal Git flow.
