I similarly have multiple git accounts and repos. When I clone a repo i do so via SSH. When I am in the folder of one repo (say a GitHub.com repo) then the ssh account that cloned the repo is used.

I'm not near my laptop, but it's two lines of code in the SSH config files and that's it.

Does anyone follow a similar pattern?

Please provide these two lines, I'd love to utilize the same pattern in the future :)

Stuff in ~/.ssh/config which complements the git config in OP:

  Host foo.bitbucket.org
    HostName bitbucket.org
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/foo_id

As in, for using bitbucket.org with the private key ~/.ssh/foo_id, you'd instead clone from foo.bitbucket.org:owner/repo.
