ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C $KEY_NAME -f ~/.ssh/github/$KEY_NAME

ssh-add ~/.ssh/github/$KEY_NAME

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

vi ~/.ssh/config

# Personal account, - the default config
Host github.com
   HostName github.com

//removes all ssh entries from the ssh-agent
ssh-add -D

// Adds the relevant ssh key
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/github/$KEY_NAME
