Accessing the remote repositories.
Git Repositories (GitHub)
Follow these steps on GitHub.
Create your ssh-key using:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
2. Navigate to .ssh folder. When prompted to name the key, name it github_pz
3. Leave the password empty and press enter.
Your terminal will look similar to what is shown below if done correctly:
Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ec2-user/.ssh/id_ed25519): kenny_test
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in kenny_test.
Your public key has been saved in kenny_test.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:plQlDgcUU4GxBZKm2njKu+f+s9cf7Y32UF4JDLyad1M your_email@example.com
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ED25519 256]--+
| .oOB*.o. |
| o..B o .o |
| o . o .o |
| . . . .E.|
| + . S o .o.|
|o o . o o ..oo .|
|.o . . ...o.. |
|.. . . . . o.+ |
| o*o.o+ ...o.o |
+----[SHA256]-----+
You will see two files stored in the location where you generated the file. Open both if you are not sharing your screen and you are in a secure environment. Become familiar with the difference between the private and public key. ONLY SHARE YOUR PUBLIC KEY!
4. Give your public key to the administrator to issue a CA for access to the repository.
5. Go to your own GitHub account and add the same public key.
Add files called allowed_signers
and config
to the ~/.ssh
directory and update permissions to limit to read/write for user only.
touch ~/.ssh/allowed_signers
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/allowed_signers
touch ~/.ssh/config
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
Add the following to that config file:
Host your-alias-domain.com
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/your-private-key
Start the SSH agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
Now add your private key to the SSH agent
ssh-add ~/.ssh/your-private-key
Test if it was added with
ssh-add -l
Now add your user name and email to the git configuration (unless it's already set).
git config --global user.name "your-user-name"
git config --global user.email "your-email"
Once complete, test your login using
ssh -T git@your-alias-domain.com
