Github Setup

The following project consist of a set of bash scripts that you could use to set up the following:

• Configure your git and github account globally
• Generate your github account SSH Key

Get your git on

1. Git config

Change the email address to yours

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

#configure your username 
git config --global user.name "username"

#configure your email - must be the same email address directly linked to your github account
git config --global user.email "youremail@here.com"

2. Generate github ssh-key

Same goes for this section, input your email address.The process is still the same as per the documentation.

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

#generate ssh-key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "youremail@here.com"
#add ssh-key to ssh-agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
#add ssh private key
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
#get the generated ssh key and copy paste it  to your github account
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

3. Generate gpg-key

The script does its thing up until the last bit which would require manual input.

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

#generate gpg key pair
gpg --full-generate-key
#list long form of your key
gpg --list-secret-key --keyid-format=long

NOTE The following scripts are written and pushed as per the current documentation - timestamp wise
