Git SSH Config

When using SSH to connect to a remote repository, you can configure your SSH client to use a specific key for a specific host. This is useful when you have multiple keys and want to use a specific key for a specific host.

Sample configuration is below

# ~/.ssh/config
Host github.com
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my-github-key
  PreferredAuthentications publickey
