How to create different deploy keys for seperate repositories

• generate a ssh key-pair ssh-keygen -f /home/wwwutz/.ssh/blabla_rsa
• add /home/wwwutz/.ssh/blabla_rsa.pub as a deploy key to repository blabla on github.molgen.mpg.de
• edit ~/.ssh/config

Host blabla.github.molgen.mpg.de
  HostName github.molgen.mpg.de
  User git
  IdentityFile /home/wwwutz/.ssh/blabla_rsa
  IdentitiesOnly yes

• when cloning the repo use git clone git@blabla.github.molgen.mpg.de:wwwutz/foobar.git (! hostname !)

idea behind it

• use an individual ssh key per repository
• ssh to a different 'host'
• let ssh use the real host redirected by .ssh/config
• use the individual key as configured .ssh/config
