I have successfully configured my GitHub client to use SSH, and received the confirmatory email from GitHub that a new SSH key was added. I would like to setup IntelliJ to use SSH as well, so that I don't have to enter my Username and Password every time I interact with GitHub. I also don't want IntelliJ to save my password for me, since I am unsure how secure that would be.

The closest I have come so far is that I need to edit my ~/.ssh/config file to tell IntelliJ that there is an SSH key it can use. Unfortunately I have not managed to find an example that works.

Here is my latest attempt at a ~/.ssh/config entry:

```
Host IntelliJ
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile "/Users/peter/.ssh/github_rsa"
  TCPKeepAlive yes
  IdentitiesOnly yes

```

I have tried restarting IntelliJ after adding that entry, but to no avail.
I'm running IntelliJ Ultimate 12.1.6 on Mac OSX 10.8.5
