Deploy and SSH keys Setup

deploy_ssh_key_setup.md

This guide will teach you how to use Github Deploy keys in your Hosting server here Im gonna use AWS lightsail Ubuntu 20

Creating Keygen

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

this will appear

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa):

just press ENTER or for advance user you can put a name on it and it will save to current directory you are on.

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): (leave it blank if you dont want to input it everytime you do push/pull)

Enter (bypass) or put passphrase for more security

if you put passphrase it will ask you to do it again

Enter same passphrase again:

Your identification has been saved in <if_you_rename_the_key> or else it will save to /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa
Your public key has been saved in <if_you_rename_the_key>.pub or /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:ciEKjS5LaC76asdqwesqweqweqwxcwerqweqwdasdas ubuntu@ip-<your-hosting-ip-address>
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 3072]----+

Create config file

sudo nano ~/.ssh/config

Host gitreponame
Hostname github.com
IdentityFile "~/.ssh/id_rsa"

Note: 
"Host" will be your <change_this_with_your_host_in_config_file> later on
"IdentityFile" will be your id_rsa (default) if you change it and changed its location you must indicate here

Note: to be sure change the file permission of id_rsa to 400

sudo chmod 400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Change the config file to 644

sudo chmod 644 ~/.ssh/config

Opening Pub file and Copy/Paste for Deploy Keys

type in:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

then copy the keygen and go to your repo (note: not in your account settings) and navigate to settings find Deploy Keys tab

then create new Deploy keys name a title and paste the keygen

if you intent to do this in your personal account look for Settings > SSH and GPG keys

Go back to your console and type in:

eval `ssh-agent`

this only works if you work long in your project and if you put passphrase

Make sure you use the backquote (`), located under the tilde (~), rather than the single quote (').

type in:
ssh-add

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

this will save your ssh passphrase so whenever you run git pull it will not ask for passphrase

Navigate to your repo and check the remote URL

git remote -v

if its...
origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git

if its under your account
git remote set-url origin git@<change_this_with_your_host_in_config_file>:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git

if its under an organization
git remote set-url origin git@<change_this_with_your_host_in_config_file>:ORGANIZATION/REPOSITORY.git

Enjoy! :)
