To support multiple github ssh keys

generate new ssh work key
ssh-keygen

save the file clearly with work name / make sure you specify directory

~/.ssh/Github-WORKNAME-username

create a config file

cd ~/.ssh
touch config

update the User + IdentityFile (copy and paste above)

when you clone - use the ssh / and the users should match - eg. 8secz-johndpope
the cloned repo will correspond with the work keys

make sure you use system git in sourcetree - to pick this up correctly.
