Sync bash aliases and ssh keys across devices
Sync bash aliases and ssh keys across devices
How do you guys quickly sync your settings (especially bash aliases and ssh keys) across your machines?
Ideally i want a simple script to run on every new server I work with. Any suggestions?
You're viewing a single thread.
I suggest you don't sync SSH keys. That's just increasing the blast radius of any one of those machines being compromised.
Exactly this. Don't move private keys between machines. Generate them where you need them, it's not like they cost anything
I mean, you want to copy the public keys that represents your machines, right?
Fair point, but I would equate that with syncing the authorized_keys file rather than thinking about how to sync the keys.
Right. Use some kind of centralized authentication like freeipa.
For bash aliases, I just pull down a .bashrc from github gists.
Is the url is easy to rember?
