Using 2 accounts with git and ssh is such a pain in the fucking ass, god. Software sucks, always, beyond the basic use case.

@[email protected] this is one of those prime examples where the “correct” way of doing things is so annoying people will often default to the easy one (one ssh key for all things)

(slightly related: in a real world scenario, I’m not 100% convinced that it’s functionally different to have, on one device, different ssh keys for every service. Given that your device is, in theory, the only place with the private keys, if it’s compromised they basically have all those private keys. in that scenario, what’s the difference between using one key for multiple services vs. one for all? Perhaps I misunderstand the advice..)
