Pushing has nothing to do with the git config here, it's all in the ssh
keys. Usually the simplest approach is to only use one key and user.
Attach your key to your user, then add your user as a collaborator on any
repo you need access to. The client's account will probably not have a key
on it, unless they need to push to a repo or pull from a private repo.
