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.
  
  I don't know how to switch keys
  "just use the same key"
  bruh the Stack Overflow energy
- 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
  
  #~/.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
  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.
  
  That's GPG, not SSH.
  
  my bad x.x
