different RSA keys for git for the same remote host

I would like to use different rsa keys for the same host when connecting to different git repositories on this host.

For example I have 2 git repositories on example.com:

[email protected]:rep1

and

[email protected]:rep2

The typical method for using 2 different RSA keys is for different hosts ~/.ssh/config :

Hostname example.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key1

This does not work for me, since both repositories are hosted on the same host.

Do you have any suggestions?

You can use the Host keyword:

Host host1
HostName git.example.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key1

Host host2
HostName git.example.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key2

And then use ssh host1 or ssh host2 instead of using full host name.
