For the first time use

You should initialize the SSH key store for the first time use:

% skm init

✔ SSH key store initialized!

So, where are my SSH keys? SKM will create SSH key store at $HOME/.skm and put all the SSH keys in it.

NOTE: If you already have id_rsa & id_rsa.pub key pairs in $HOME/.ssh, SKM will move them to $HOME/.skm/default

Create a new SSH key

NOTE: Currently ONLY RSA key type is supported!

skm create prod -C "abc@abc.com"

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /Users/timothy/.skm/prod/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/timothy/.skm/prod/id_rsa.pub.
...
✔ SSH key [prod] created!

List SSH keys

% skm ls

✔ Found 3 SSH key(s)!

->      default
        dev
        prod

Set default SSH key

% skm use dev
Now using SSH key: dev

Delete a SSH key

% skm delete prod

Please confirm to delete SSH key [prod] [y/n]: y
✔ SSH key [prod] deleted!

Rename a SSH key with a new alias name

% skm rn test tmp
✔  SSH key [test] renamed to [tmp]

Backup SSH keys

Backup all your SSH keys to $HOME directory by default.

% skm backup

a ./dev
a ./dev/id_rsa
a ./dev/id_rsa.pub
