Yesterday I had a situation where I need to use another SSH key for connecting up to the Git repository at Unfuddle.
Googled and googled... no simple answer. Then found a couple of pages that explained how to do this in such technical terms that it took a while to figure it out.
So this is what you got to do...

A couple of weeks back I presented at CFObjective ANZ in Melbourne, on how to make ColdFusion development a little more cooler using a decentralized version control system (DVCS) like Git.
The basic idea behind the presentation was this:
A
commonly used version control system in the ColdFusion community is
Subversion -- a centralized system that relies on being connected to a
central server. The next generation version control systems are
decentralized , in that version control tasks do not rely on a central
server.
Decentralized version control systems are more efficient and offer a more practical way of software development.
This is sort of a follow-up on an earlier post that I had made: Life after Subversion.
I've been toying with the idea of moving from Subversion (a centralized version control system) to a Distributed Version Control System (DCVS) like Git, Mercurial or Bazaar for about 6 months. I played with Mercurial and Bazaar earlier this year and found that moving our development from Subversion to Mercurial or Bazaar was was a fairly significant change.
Over the last few weeks I've been looking again at Git. Obviously there are lots of advantages of using distributed version control system. However, what I found was that there are quite a few issues that I had to consider before making the jump from Subversion.
