.ssh/config file for windows (git)
git, intellij-idea, ssh
Solution
If you use "Git for Windows"
>cd c:\Program Files\Git\etc\ssh\
add to ssh_config following:
AddKeysToAgent yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_test
ps. you need ssh version >= 7.2 (date of release 2016-02-28)
Problem
I've been looking for a solution on how I can use multiple ssh keys and I figured out, that it will work with a config file in the .ssh directory, but it doesn't work on windows. My problem is that I'm using a private key to access a git server, so it looks like this: ssh://git@example.com/directory , it works fine when I'm using TortoiseGit, 'cause there is a possibility to choose the private key. But I want to use the git rep in my IntelliJ IDEA and there is just the option to use the git native shell and it also works, if I put the key, called id_rsa ,into the .ssh folder. Now I want to use multiple ssh keys (so my key will get the name "id_rsa_test", so how do I configure the .ssh/config file under Windows, that it works with a usual git server? The most examples I found yet are just for the use with github.
