Issue
I have a private repo that I want to install in my package.json file.
"private-module": "git+ssh://[email protected]:private/private-module.git"
By default npm uses your default private key. I want to be able to specify which ssh key npm should use when running npm install
. Is there any way to do this?
Solution
Here are a few solutions:
Add an entry to your
~/.ssh/config
. For example:Host bitbucket.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bitbucket_key IdentitiesOnly yes
Use
ssh-agent
and add your key to the agent instance beforehand.Use something like ssh-ident for choosing ssh agents and identities dynamically based on the current working directory or arguments passed to ssh-ident. As their readme states, you would typically alias ssh-ident to
ssh
so that it's automatically used everywhere.
