GIT pub/priv keys

Tell GIT which keys to use.

export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/KEY_FILE_GOES_HERE -F /dev/null" git clone REPO

After the clone has happened, you can set the command in git config

In .git/config, add the following to the [core] section:

   sshCommand = ssh -i ~/.ssh/KEY_FILE_GOES_HERE -F /dev/null
