Unable to clone with git+ssh


I'd need to clone a repository through git+ssh (git+ssh://git.host.repository.com). It fails as it uses my OS username instead of my organization user's name.

Cloning into 'project.name'...
[email protected]'s password:

There "francesco" is my OS account name, which obviously fails to login. Within ~/.ssh/config I have added:

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

But it didn't work. Also I've tried to update the key (which contains my corporate account):

touch ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

It still attempts to use the OS username to login and not the username contained in the public key. Any help?

You should edit for ssh config confile similar to below. User can enforce the user to use for ssh.

Host git.host.repository.com
  HostName git.host.repository.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github/id_rsa
