# This file goes in your $HOME/.ssh directory

# Default GitHub account (work or school)
Host github.com
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Secondary GitHub account (personal projects)
Host github-krashleviathan
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_krashleviathan

# Make sure to create an ssh key for your personal account, and name it `id_rsa_krashleviathan`

# Then, make sure when you add remotes for personal projects, use:
# git remote add origin git@github-krashleviathan:KrashLeviathan/my_sweet_project.git

# If you get the `ERROR: Permission denied to...` message, you probably need to
# add the ssh key again with `ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_krashleviathan`
