Dependency on SSH config's entry
https://github.com/eli-schwartz/aurpublish/blob/f88c7aea4506f9f2abde4ea91d0fdacdce4ffdb7/aurpublish.in#L145
The script sets the SSH remote as aur (with no way of changing it), relying on the .ssh/config to convert it to [email protected] + pointer to the correct key.
In my case, I use standard keys for accessing AUR, so I'm forced to add config lines in the SSH-config just to make the mapping aur => [email protected]. For such simple thing, a zero-conf' setup may be better. But I can't have that zero-conf', as I can't change the SSH remote used by the script.
Is there a special need to depend on .ssh/config?
Oh, I did not know about url.<base>.insteadOf! Maybe this is worth suggesting as an alternative along with the message “Add the following snippet to your ~/.ssh/config”?
However, this only pushes the problem from one place to another: instead of configuring the .ssh/config file, it configures the ~/.gitconfig file. It is still not a zero-conf' setup.
Well... you'd have to configure ssh for aur anyway, and aurpublish is not a way to provide zero-conf setup.
P.S: move ~/.gitconfig to ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/git/config to make git follow XDG specs.
Why “you'd have to configure ssh anyway”? This is indeed my final question. :-)
IdentityFile is not required as long as I use ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa or any of default key path; Hostname and User is not required as long as aurpublish uses the full URL "[email protected]:" instead of "aur:".
Is something that prevent us replacing aur: by [email protected]:?
