git-key's Introduction

git-key

Script to create and attach a local SSH key to your GitHub account (Python, GitHub API)

Pre-requisites

You must have Python 3 installed.
Once you have Python installed, use the respective pip script (often pip3) to install the requests library.

pip3 install requests

Running

Clone a copy of the repo:

git clone https://github.com/jbmanning/git-key

Change to the git-key directory

cd git-key/

All-in-one: Create new ssh id, add to ssh-agent, and upload to your GitHub account.

python3 update-key.py [github username]

It will ask for your password and two-factor auth if you have it enabled.

git-key's Issues

Removing PAT removes SSH key.

At the end of the script when removing the PAT, GitHub also removes the SSH key that was created. Figure out WHY? Convert to GitHub application running on AWS Lambda?

Script fails if user enters invalid password

send_gh_req only validates auth code on a recursive loop. Add a loop for the password as well.

User name/Password auth against GitHub API deprecated

This will require moving to OAuth workflow. Determine depth of UI necessary, what could stay in a terminal application, and how to build this in a cross-platform manner.

`react-pages`

Hello.
I noticed you authored react-pages npm module but then you scraped the whole project.
Perhaps you could transfer that name to me?
