Say, your key file is ~/.ssh/id_other_ed25519, then do this: Rename your remote to use an invented host name: git remote set-url origin git@other.github.com:other/repo Then attach the invented name to the real host name and the identity in your ~/.ssh/config: Host other.github.com Hostname github.com Identity ~/.ssh/id_other_ed25519 -- Hannes
