SSH auth for multiple GitHub accounts on OSX

When you use more than one SSH key to access GitHub you can use primary account by default and additional, with such a config (assume your second SSH key file is ~/.ssh/id_rsa_pewpew)

Host github-pewpew
  HostName github.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_pewpew

With Linux having ssh key in .ssh folder and configuring ~/.ssh/configis enough. But on MacOS I get an error during Git clone (and Capistrano deploy) like this:

git clone git@github-pewpew:.../...git
Cloning into 'MyRepo'...
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

a bit confusing, but an error is not with Repo by itself (if you are completely sure that you are the repo owner or have write-rights).

Solution

On MacOS X I need to additional keys manually by

$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_pewpew

and you can check what key are in use right now

$ ssh-add -l

Note

On MacOS X you will need to add key after every system restart. It looks like we need to use OSX Keychain to reload them authomatically via

$ ssh-add -K [path/to/private SSH key]

At last I have just got the difference between Dependency Injection and Service Locator (I really hope so :) ). Hallelujah ! And now it is clear what is Inversion of Control. That worth all these years in programming...
