Launch the Terminal application, Terminal is found in /Applications/Utilities/ directory but you can. SSH, or Secure Shell, is a common protocol used to securely log into remote servers and systems. After creating the SSH key pair, start the ssh-agent: For Mac or Linux: 1 eval ' $(ssh-agent -s) ' For Mac, you can edit the /.ssh/config file to automatically load keys into the ssh-agent and store passphrases in your keychain. Eval `ssh-agent` You can find ssh-add as part of the Git for Windows distribution and also run it in any shell environment on Windows. On macOS and Linux you also must have ssh-agent running before running ssh-add, but the command environment on these platforms usually takes care of starting ssh-agent for you. Q: I have multiple SSH keys.
Mac OS X does not automatically start ssh-agent for you when it creates a new login session. I suppose this makes sense for much of the Mac target audience that will never use ssh, but it is annoying for those of us who use it regularly.
I added the following to my .profile automatically start ssh-agent when I open my first terminal window:
Terminal.app starts a new login shell, which calls .profile every time you create a new window. The ‘if' statement check so see if ssh-agent is already running, if not, it starts a new ssh-agent and writes the output to ${HOME}/bin/agent-env.
This file sets the environment variables ssh needs to find the ssh-agent. The ‘source' command after the if statement runs agent-env in the current process, which allows the environment variables to take effect in the current process.
You will still have to run ssh-add to add your keys, but at least you do not have to start the ssh-agent.
Given all of the above, especially if SIP prevents you from disabling this directly, I would probably attack it a different way. The first idea that comes to mind would be to write my own launchd plist and have it run on load to have it run the commands to automatically stop ssh-agent, and then see if you can then get oh-my-zsh to restart / control it. Starting ssh-agent. On most Linux systems, ssh-agent is automatically configured and run at login, and no additional actions are required to use it. However, an SSH key must still be created for the user. If ssh-agent is not automatically started at login, it can be started manually with the command. Eval `ssh-agent` The ssh-agent command outputs commands to set certain environment variables.
Previous step
The SSH protocol is designed to maintain a secure connection between two systems—in this case, your local working environment and your Magento Commerce Cloud Git project.
When initially setting up your local environment, you need to add the SSH keys to the following specific environments:
- Starter: Add to Master (Production) and any environments you create by branching from Master
- Pro: Add to Master Integration environment. After your Staging and Production environments are provisioned, you can add the SSH keys to those environments through the Project Web Interface or via SSH and CLI commands.
You must create an SSH key pair on every machine and workspace that requires access to Magento Commerce Cloud project source code and environments. The SSH keys allow you to connect to GitHub to manage source code and to connect to cloud servers without having to constantly supply your username and password.
You can add multiple SSH keys for each system or workspace that you use.
The SSH keys require the following:
- Set up SSH keys as the Magento file system owner.
- Create the keys using the GitHub account email address.
For more information on SSH keys, see the following:
Locate an existing SSH key pair
An existing SSH key pair is typically located in the .ssh
subdirectory of the user's home directory. This folder is hidden and may not display in the file manager or finder unless configured to display hidden files and folders.
You can quickly verify if you have SSH keys by entering commands using terminal access.
To check for SSH keys, enter the following command:
If you have SSH keys, a directory listing is displayed similar to the following:
If you do not have SSH keys, you need to generate the keys for adding to your Magento ECE account and GitHub account. See Create a new SSH key pair.
If you already have SSH keys, continue to:
- Add a public SSH key to your Magento account section
Create a new SSH key pair
Use the ssh-keygen
command to create an SSH key pair. ssh-keygen
is typically installed on Linux systems.
To create an SSH key pair:
The command syntax follows, entering the email used for your GitHub account:
GitHub also uses the key length
-b 4096
in the command. Follow the prompts to complete the key.When prompted to 'Enter a file in which to save the key,' press Enter to save the file to the default location. The prompt displays the location.
When prompted to enter a secure passphrase, enter a phrase to use like a password. Make note of this passphrase. You may be requested to enter it depending on tasks you complete using a terminal during development.
After creating the SSH key pair, start the ssh-agent:
For Mac or Linux:
For Mac, you can edit the
~/.ssh/config
file to automatically load keys into the ssh-agent and store passphrases in your keychain.You can specify multiple SSH keys by adding multiple
IdentityFile
entries to your configuration.For Windows:
Add the SSH key to the ssh-agent. If you used a different name for the key file name, replace
id_rsa
with that file name.For Mac:
For Windows or Linux:
Add your SSH key to your GitHub account. The instructions include Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Test the SSH keys
After adding the SSH keys, test the SSH connection to GitHub:
In the terminal, enter the following command:
You may see a warning that the authenticity of the host can't be established followed by an RSA fingerprint. Enter
yes
to continue.If successful, you should receive a success message. If you receive a permission denied error, see Error: Permission denied (publickey) troubleshooting on GitHub.
Add a public SSH key to your Magento account
You can add SSH keys to your account in any of the following ways:
- Using the Magento Commerce Cloud CLI
- Using the Magento Commerce Cloud Web Interface
Add a key using the CLI
To add an SSH key using the CLI:
Ssh-agent Mac Install
- Open a terminal application on your local workstation.
If you haven't done so already, log in (or switch to) the Magento file system owner to the server on which your SSH keys are located.
Log in to your project:
Add the key:
Add a key using the Project Web Interface
You will select and add your SSH public key to each environment in your account.
- Starter: Add to Master (Production) and any environments you create by branching from Master
- Pro: Add the key to Staging, Production, and Integration environments
To add an SSH key using the Project Web Interface:
Copy your SSH public key to the clipboard.
If you do not already have SSH keys on that machine, see GitHub documentation to create them. Amazon kindle download for mac.
- Login and access your project through the Project Web Interface.
In your selected branch, an icon displays if you do not have an SSH key added.
Copy and paste the content of your public SSH key in the screen.
- Follow the prompts on your screen to complete the task.
Set global Git variables
Set required global Git variables on the machine to commit or push to a Git branch. These variables set Git credentials for accessing your GitHub account.
To set variables, enter the following commands on every workspace:
For more information, see First-Time Git Setup
SSH access with MFA
Magento Commerce Cloud projects that have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled require all Magento Commerce Cloud accounts with SSH access to have two-factor authentication and to complete additional steps when using SSH to connect to GitHub or to project environments. See Enable MFA for SSH access.
Unable to access projects without MFA
If you authenticate to a project with multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled, you might receive the following error when connecting to other projects that do not require MFA:
During the SSH certificate generation, the Magento Cloud CLI adds an additional SSH key to your local environment. That key will be used by default if your local SSH configuration does not include the SSH key for project access.
Ssh Agent For Mac Osx
To add your SSH key to the local configuration:
Create the
config
file if it does not exists.Add an
IdentityFile
configuration.You can specify multiple SSH keys by adding multiple
IdentityFile
entries to your configuration.Reload your SSH configuration to apply the changes.
