Quick note on IDEA 10.5 + GIT + SSH + Ubuntu 11.10
If you try to use public key SSH with GIT on ubuntu 11.10 and it doesn’t see your key it is probably because you don’t have a config file in .ssh.
Go into your .ssh dir and create a config file.
Inside that file you can make it look something like
Host *
IdentityFile /path/to/your/private/key/endingWithYour.key
And then it will all automagically work like all good tech does.

I didn’t know that one. I usually just make a script that finds all my keys and consists of consecutive calls to:
KEY_DIR=”`dirname $0`”
ssh-add $KEY_DIR/sitespecific1/id_rsa
ssh-add $KEY_DIR/sitespecific2/id_rsa
I like yours better.
Glad to be a humble servant to a maestro of your quality
