    I don’t post my code to Github because I still couldn’t figure out how to switch SSH keys for 2 different git servers smoothly.

      you dont have to switch

      git will automatically select one that works

      I have the same password protected ssh key for every git site i am on tho. The sites only know the public key so its fine.

      If you’re using OpenSSH, the IdentityFile configuration directive selects the SSH key to use.

      Add something like this to your SSH config file (~/.ssh/config):

      Host github.com
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa
      
      Host gitlab.com
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab_rsa
      

      This will use the github_rsa key for repositories hosted at github.com, and the gitlab_rsa key for repositories hosted at gitlab.com. Adjust as needed for your key names and hosts, obviously.

      have at it!

      taken from Gitlab’s manual page for creating a key, but i wonder what else could be done to expand on it.

      #~/.gitconfig
      [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"]
      path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig
      [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"]
      path = /path/to/github.gitconfig
      

      #example gitlab gitconfig from the included path
      [user]
      name = Your Name
      email = 0000000-YourName@users.noreply.gitlab.com
      signingkey = 0000999988887777
      
      [commit]
      gpgsign = true
      

      if all works well, Git should be able to automatically use the selected key depending on the repo’s stated remote server.
