.ssh/config file using VScode:
ssh login:
scp command:
Description:
-
In order to save some typing during ssh-logins, we can take advantage by creating a configuration file that specifies a username when logging into a server.
-
In this config file, we can add information regarding our unique username on the specific server.
-
With the configuration file ready, we can now run commands such as
sshandscpthat connect with the remote server using only the short alias (name afterHost) that we've chosen.
public key:
private key:
commit and push on ieng6:
This is the link for the resulting commit.
Description:
-
In order to make, commit, and push changes to our Github repository from a remote server like ieng6, we need to setup a key pair between the server and Github.
-
After creating a public ssh key on ieng6 server using
ssh-keygen, we should copy this key to Github so that a private key can be as well created on Github. -
With the key-connection being set up, we can now commit and push our changes from the server to Github directly.
copying the whole directory:
...
logging in, compiling, and running tests:
integrating operations in one line:
Description:
-
The command
scp -rprovides us with a convenient way to copy a whole directory (including all the files and directories within it) to the remote server. -
By using notations such as
;and" ", we can further simplify our steps as they enable us to run multiple operations, including copying, compiling, and testing, in one single line.
