Git push to Assembla repository from multiple machines

Question

I'm just getting to know git and I really can't find a documented solution to the following problem. Assembla.com allows only one public SSH key per user. The question is, is there a way to "push" from 2 different PCs? For example, creating a separate private/public key pair and sharing it between the 2 machines just for this use would help or that is not an advisable practice?

Answer 1

Create private key on one machine. Copy it to the other, but use different name (like git_id_rsa). Then add id to your identity collection using ssh-add path-to-git_id_rsa. Then use git push as you would from the original machine.

Answer 2

Assembla now allows multiple ssh keys (even for their free accounts). You'll just need to add them here (start|profile| Manage Git Settings):
