# Multi SSH Key Manager
This tool intends to simplify creation, storage, removal and installation of per user per hostname SSH keys.
The only setup required is to add the following to the top of your SSH config `~/.ssh/config`
Host *
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/rsa/%h/%r
## Alias
Rather than having to `cd` to the repo and type out `./ssh-manager.sh` it's way easier to add an alias:
alias ssh-manage="/path/to/repo/ssh-manager.sh $@"
## Create A New Key
To create a new key or replace an existing one use the following:
./ssh-manager.sh create foo@bar.com
There are a couple of additional parameters create can take:
-p|--password Whether the key should use a pass phrase, it will be prompted for (default: false)
-c|--comment A plain text comment to be included in the key
-b|--bits The bit size of the key (default: 4096)
-t|--type The type of key to create (default: rsa)
## List All Your Keys
To list all the keys we're currently tracking use:
./ssh-manager.sh list
If you want to also see the absolute paths to the keys use `--paths`
### Flags
When you list out your keys there are a number of flags that can be assigned against each key:
- [PRV] The private key is present
- [PUB] The public key is present
- [SYM] This key is a symlink to another key
## Remove A Key
To remove a key you can use:
./ssh-manager.sh remove foo@bar.com
There are a couple of options for how to remove the key.
The default is to use `shred` that will securely delete the key but there are other options, use the `-d` or `--remove-with` flag with one of the following values:
- `rm`
- `shred`
- `shred100`
## Authorise A Key
Use authorise to copy one of your public keys to the server:
./ssh-manager.sh authorise foo@bar.com
## Fingerprint
Get the finger print of a public key by using:
./ssh-manager.sh fingerprint foo@bar.com
## Copy
Copies a users public key to the XClipboard so it can be easily pasted somewhere, for example GitHub.
./ssh-manager.sh copy foo@bar.com
