ssh-keyman

A sophisticated key manager cli tool to manage multiple ssh keys and switch between different ssh keys with ease & grace.

Overview

Normally people have difficulty managing different ssh keys for different Github / Bitbucket / Gitlab accounts. This package makes your life easier by creating different ssh profiles & manage them for you. So you can concentrate on your work.

Installation

npm install -g ssh-keyman

Usage

➜  ~  ssh-keyman -h

 Usage : ssh-keyman <command>
 Where <command> is one of:  -i, -c, -s, -d, -ls, -h, -v 

 Commands:
   -i            initialize keyman directory and default environment
   -c [name]     create new ssh environment
   -s [name]     switch to another ssh environment
   -d [name]     delete ssh environment
   -ls           list environments
   -h            help
   -v            version

Initialisation

Calling ssh-keyman -i creates a ~/.sshkeyman/ directory if it doesn't exist, and copies your current ~/.ssh as the 'default' ssh profile.

➜  ~  ssh-keyman -i
 Initialized ssh-keyman directory /Users/shahidullahkhan/.sshkeyman
 Initialized default environment /Users/shahidullahkhan/.sshkeyman/default
 Activating 'default' environment

Create a new ssh environment

➜  ~  ssh-keyman -c newenvironment
 Saved current ssh config to envioronment:  default
 Created directory for new environment :  /Users/shahidullahkhan/.sshkeyman/newenvironment
 Do you want to switch to newly created environment (newenvironment)? y
 Activated environment 'newenvironment'

A blank environment will be created. Then modify content of ~/.ssh/. Then whenever you will switch to another environment, your changes will be saved.

List available ssh environments

➜  ~  ssh-keyman ls 
Available environments:
 default
 *newenvironment

Switch to a specific ssh environment

➜  ~  ssh-keyman -s default
 Saved current ssh config to 'newenvironment'
 Activated environment 'default'

Delete a specific ssh environment

➜  ~  ssh-keyman -d newenvironment
 Successfully deleted environment 'newenvironment'

Get the current ssh-keyman version

➜  ~  ssh-keyman -v
 ssh-keyman version : 1.0.0
