The agency I work for have a Codebase account that I sometimes need to work with at home, but I have just setup a Codebase account for my freelance work, too.

However, I keep getting permission errors when pushing up to the repo because my ssh config file now has two codebasehq.com hosts to point to.

How can I set this up so I can pull & push to two separate repos on two separate accounts?

Thanks, Jay

You can construct a SSH config file using many parameters and different approaches.

The format for the alias entries use in this example is:

Host alias 
  HostName <host1> 
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity

To create a config file for two identities (workid and personalid), you would do the following:

Open a terminal window.
Edit the ~/.ssh/config file.

If you don't have a config file, create one.
Add an alias for each identity combination for example:

Host workid
HostName <host1>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/workid

Host personalid
HostName <host2>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/personalid

PS

Don't forget to load the keys to your server.

The issue I'm having is that both of the Hostnames are codebasehq.com and they're both pointing towards their separate Identiyfiles yet I can't seem to push to the work one since I've setup my personal one this evening. Thanks though!
I had this side of it all set up correctly, I just had to use ssh-add ~/.ssh/work_rsa to get it working. Thanks!
Sure np. tying to help. you can also do this: eval $(ssh-agent)
