To give more detail, here's what your ~/.ssh/config file needs to look
like:
Host *
IdentityFile id_rsa.pub
Host hostname_with_special_keys.com
IdentifyFile id_rsa.hostname_with_special_keys.pub
Host another_host.com
IdentityFile id_rsa.another_host.pub
The actual hostnames and file names are ar
The correct way of doing this is to specify multiple "IdentityFile"
lines in your ~/.ssh/config
The id_rsa[.pub] files represent a keypair and isn't supposed to contain
multiple identities, but it's easy and perfectly valid to use several
keys, either by using -i or IdentityFile. Closing as this i
