Keyport: A SSH utility program

Simplifies adding and removing SSH keys on UNIX like systems. Requires openssh installed on your system.

Disclaimer

This is a rather hacky solution at the moment, so things might not work as expected.

Installing

Basic usage

When specifying only the name of a key, keyport will assume you mean a key in ~/.ssh/.

• keyport show id_rsa will show the key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
• keyport remove ./my_key will remove the my_key key in the current directory.
• keyport add /path/to/key will let you add the key at the specified path.

Adding an already generated key

$ keyport add <FILE> # i.e. id_ed25519, id_rsa, ...

Removing an added key

$ keyport remove <FILE>

Show a public key

$ keyport show <FILE>

Set the password of a key

$ keyport set-password <FILE>

TODOs

• Show command to show public keys
• Allow for password protection
• Support custom editors
• List command to list active and inactive keys
• Generating new keys
• Open temporary files for the keys, validate them and only if everything is fine write them to the ssh directory.
  • Writing keys to temporary files first.
  • Key validation (when adding)
• Improve the error handling
