How to copy ssh key #2484

Open lostmykar opened 2 weeks ago

lostmykar commented 2 weeks ago

It’s quite simple. I use ish on ipad with the alpine linux extension. I downloaded nano and opened the ssh pub key file to copy it. What does M-6 mean and how do i copy the text or else how do i find the folder in apple files where the ish root folder is located?

Not the dev, but I will answer to the best of my knowledge:

1) The iSH filesystem can be opened in Files by going to Settings > Filesystems > default > Browse files in iSH

2) M-6 is a keyboard combination to copy text within Nano, the editor you're using inside iSH. Getting the key to your phone clipboard is actually a lot simpler: use the cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub command to display the key, then long press the terminal text, drag the blue bars around to select the whole key, and finally tap the Copy button.
