Closed-source quality be like
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
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
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"]
path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"]
path = /path/to/github.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
