GitHub SSH Key Setup

Your GitHub account has no SSH keys. Let's fix that.

1. Generate GitHub key

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "haynsla-imac-github" -f ~/.ssh/id_github

When prompted, enter a passphrase (4-5 random words). Store it in KeePassXC.

2. Add to ssh-agent

ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_github

3. Add to GitHub account

gh ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_github.pub --title "haynsla-imac-github"

4. Update SSH config

cat >> ~/.ssh/config << 'SSHCONFIG'

# GitHub
Host github.com
    HostName github.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_github
    IdentitiesOnly yes
SSHCONFIG

5. Test

ssh -T [email protected]

Should show: Hi haynsla! You've successfully authenticated...

6. Clone infra

cd ~/g
git clone --recursive [email protected]:Concurrent-Systems/infra.git

7. Run deskguard

cd ~/g/infra/software/deskguard
python3 deskguard.py --username lynton-hayns
