I have multiple git repositories I need to connect to. For each one, the person in charge emailed me a public/private keypair to use to access the repository. I stored them in my .ssh
directory along with my personal key:
$ ls ~/.ssh
id_rsa id_dsa_site1 id_rsa_site2 id_rsa.pub
id_dsa_site1.pub id_rsa_site2.pub
Then, I read some articles online that recommended I set up a config
file, which I did:
$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host site1.sub.domain.com
User gitosis
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa_site1
Host git.site2.sub.domain.com
User gitosis
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_site2
However, when I try to clone the repos, I'm still being prompted for a password:
$ git clone gitosis@site1.sub.domain.com:myrepo.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/robert/myrepo/.git/
gitosis@site1.sub.domain.com's password:
It looks like the key isn't associating properly. No google/so search I can think of is solving the problem. Any ideas?
(for future people with this problem)
Logging out and back in solved the problem for me.
