Update keygen to use new EDw 25519 key algorithm Link to https://practical.li/engineering-playbook/source-control/git-configuration/#ssh-keys

Adding a local SSH public key to GitHub account

 termux-clipboard-set < $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub && xdg-open https://github.com/settings/keys

Cache the SSH key Termux doesn't run ssh-agent but does support SSH key caching using the ssha command

ssh -T [email protected]

This command seems to cache for ssh connection but not for git command.

Add key per termux session (untested)

Run the ssh agent for the current shell session

ssh-agent

Load the agent process hook into the shell environment

eval $(ssh-agent)

Add a private key, entering the keys passphrase when prompted.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/engineering

Git clients use the agent to unlock the key passphrase automatically, removing the need to enter the passphrase each time.

Once a Termux session has ended or a new one created, the agent is no longer running and Git commands will prompt for the passphrase (or the agent is started and key added again).

The commands fail when chained together, I suspect its the eval that runs too quickly. More investigation is required.

ssh-agent && \
eval $(ssh-agent) && \
ssh-add ~/.ssh/engineering
