git-ssh-wrapper

Implements a Python wrapper that enables specific identity files to be used when cloning specific repos. If no identity is specified a generic SSH command will be used. This application was created to solve issues that arise when using multiple deploy keys to clone multiple private VCS Pyton dependencies.

Usage

The association of keyfiles and repositories is configured through a YAML file

repo1:
  url: "org1/repo1.git"
  identity: "id_rsa_repo1"

repo2:
  url: "org2/repo2.git"
  identity: "id_rsa_repo2"

You can then configure git to use the wrapper with

export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='wrapped-ssh keyfile.yaml

or

export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='python -m git_ssh_wrapper keyfile.yaml

CLI Options

usage: ssh-wrapper [-h] [-i IDENTITY_ROOT] [-d] keyfile command [command ...]
