Hi @abd-ur-rehman,

Thank you for being here! Working with multiple accounts and multiple ssh keys can be a tricky thing to set up.

Most of the time we recommend against having multiple accounts specifically for this reason, and usually just recommend that users use a single account for both work and personal projects. Still, we know this isn’t a good solution for everyone, so hopefully, we can point you in the right direction for setting this up!

To do this you’ll need to create an ssh config file in:

~/.ssh/config

The contents should be similar to this, defining two different SSH hosts that point to GitHub but use different keys. You’ll need to modify the contents to point to your two separate SSH keys in the IdentityFile section:

Host github.com
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal
Host work.github.com

HostName github.com

PreferredAuthentications publickey

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work

This config sets it up so that every time you clone a repository using a standard SSH URL (git@github.com:username/repo.git) it will use your personal account key, but if you modify the URL slightly you can tell it to use your work key instead (git@work.github.com:username/repo.git).

I hope this helps!

In My Case this worked

Host github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal
Host work.github.com

Host github.com

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work
