Multiple Unfuddle Accounts
Posted on February 17, 2009, under Git.
I was having my own free unfuddle account and my work also had another unfuddle account. Now I had configured my public key for my work account and when I updated the same public key for my personal account, it didn’t accept it.
It throwed a error already this key is in use.
So, what the hell do I have to do? Here’s what I did to solve it….Simple steps though
STEP 1: Create another public key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f personal_unfuddle
As you know it will generate a key and store it file name “personal_unfuddle” -f parameter is a optional parameter and it will store it in that file.
Now you have to view the generated file to update the public key in the unfuddle
cat personal_unfuddle.pub
Copy paste the key into your unfuddle account.
STEP 2: Identifying the Key pair for the multiple account.
Create/Edit a file named “config” in youe .ssh folder
sudo vim config
Paste the following code into the config file
Host work.unfuddle.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa Host personal.unfuddle.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/personal_unfuddle
After few mins, this should start working.
Hope this helps someone
