Problem

I want to create and register deploy keys for doing git pull or git clone. What do I do?

Solution (with github automation)

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Create personal access tokens on https://github.com/settings/tokens
  3. Click Generate new token
  4. Add some note for yourself and tick repo (Full control of private repositories)
  5. Generate token
  6. Copy the token and paste in on a new file in secret.txt that is at the same location with the script.
  7. add/remove target repository name in deploy-key-config.json.
  8. edit owner field to your username/organization, i.e. zynaxsoft.
  9. python3 deploy-key-gen.py -N [passphrase] -n [pc_name] -t [target_folder]
  • ex. python3 deploy-key-gen.py -N password1234 -n my_laptop -t ssh_keys
  • passphrase is a password that you have to enter when doing git remote related commands
  1. Follow the instructions on appeared readme in the terminal.

Removing the created personal access token after the keys will also remove the generated/added deploy keys.

If you want to be sure that this key will cause no harm, you can

  • Change the scope of the key by unchecking the checked repo option.
    • This will make the key has access to only public repository only and wii have only read access. (reference)
  • Update token.
  • Regenerate the token.
