You can configure ssh keys for multiple accounts on sites like Gitlab, GitHub

Create key and upload it to GitHub
#

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<comment>"
# enter path to /home/user/.ssh/github/<github-user>/id_ed25519
# start the ssh-agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/github/<github-user>/id_ed25519
# add content of public key to accounts settings on site
gh ssh-key add <PATH-TO-PUB-KEY> --title "personal laptop"

Configure ssh
#

touch ~/.ssh/config
# readable and writable only by the user and not accessible by others
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
~/.ssh/config

In this file you can create custom host names so that allows you to use specific host for each user.

Host <custom hostname, like <USER>.gh>
        HostName github.com
        User <USER>
        IdentityFile <PATH TO SSH KEY>

And now instead of referring to github you should refer to specified host: git remote origin set-url git@custom.github.com:username/reponame

Test connection
#

ssh -T git@<host specified in ~/.ssh/config>
