I want to use other IdentityFile for git. I want to use it dynamically, not via config. I'm doing this:
$ GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /home/my_user/.ssh/id_ed25519' git pull origin master
repository access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
The pub key "id_ed25519.pub" is at my bitbucket.
And this fails too:
$ git pull origin master
repository access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
And:
$ git remote -v
origin [email protected]:company123/repo456.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:company123/repo456.git (push)
Adding "-v" to 'ssh -i /home/my_user/.ssh/id_ed25519' reveals that my RSA key is being used, instead of ED. Why?

Finally, GIT_SSH_COMMAND means Git 2.10+, so if your version of Git is too old, you will need to update it first. Follow this answer to receive notifications.
Git does not know, or care. It just runs ssh. Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication identity files configured in the ssh_config files, even if ssh-agent(1) or a PKCS11Provider offers more identities. The argument to this keyword must be “yes” or “no”.
SSH keys are stored in the ~/. ssh folder. You can have more than one key in there, because SSH keys are used for things other than Git.
I had the same issue with the recent Ubuntu version:
Using -vvv revealed following:
debug2: key: /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa (0x5628e48246d0), agent
debug2: key: /home/ubuntu/code/id_rsa (0x5628e4820af0), explicit
Adding -o IdentitiesOnly=yes solved it.
Full git command:
GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i /home/ubuntu/code/id_rsa -F /dev/null' git pull
