Gitosis and ssh keys - does the email address have anything to do with the git email address?

Question

I am trying to configure gitosis on a server. I just wondered that my ssh key has my gmail address at the end, because I originally used it for github. For this new project on the server I'm setting up, I want to use my email address for this organization when committing git. Is it good for me to use the same ssh key when setting up in gitosis, or will I need to use a different ssh key generated in my account me@newserver?

No ... the only thing that matters is that the private key matches the user. The names and email address simply connect the SSH key to the user as you commit it as git @ your-domain.com.
