setup_ssh_keys_on_remote.sh

Runs on: macOS/Linux/WSL Target: Any SSH server

The streamlined script for setting up SSH key authentication. This script:

  • Generates an SSH key pair locally (stored in ~/.ssh/)
  • Transfers the public key to your remote server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Appends host configuration to your local ~/.ssh/config file
  • Tests the connection to verify everything works

You'll be prompted for:

  • Key file name
  • Remote server username

After setup, you can connect using: ssh [keyname]

  • Tests the GitHub SSH connection

Usage:

./setup_github_keys.sh
