Add all SSH keys at once

Add all SSH keys at once.md

Purpose

This script allows you to add all SSH keys from your ~/.ssh folder to the SSH agent at once. It is especially useful when you have several accounts tied to the SSH for the same domain.

Requirements

The script will look for SSH keys in ~/.ssh

You'll also need bash and ssh-add (from OpenSSH or equivalent) installed on your system.

Installation

From the Terminal, move to the directory you want to install this script (I recommend a directory with your $PATH environment variable) and execute those commands:

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/chsxf/0a1912aca6bc13568efae9f7ba807b0f/raw/ssh-add-all-keys.sh
chmod +x ssh-add-all-keys.sh

ssh-add-all-keys.sh

# Color ANSI escape codes:
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/5947802
WHITE='\033[1;37m'
RESET_COLOR='\033[0m'

cd ~/.ssh

KEYS=`ls -1 *.pub`

COUNT_KEYS=`echo "$KEYS" | wc -l | xargs`
echo "Adding $COUNT_KEYS keys...\n"

for entry in $KEYS
do
	if [[ $entry =~ ^(.+)\.pub$ ]]; then
		echo "${WHITE}Adding '${BASH_REMATCH[1]}' key${RESET_COLOR}"
		`ssh-add ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}`
	fi
done
