Adding SSH keys to EdgeOS-based devices like Ubiquiti Edge Router X

Maybe, like me, you're tired of typing a password and prefer to disable password auth for ssh anyway. ~~Maybe, like me, you want to point VS Code at your Edge Router and be able to read configs and things.~~ Maybe, like me, you'll discover that VS Code's Remote-SSH extension doesn't support the ERX architecture and be mildy bummed, but still happy to have passwordless SSH (via ssh-agent) and know that no password will get some rando into your ERX.

Here's how.

Methods of Signing Git Commits on MacOS

Last updated March 13, 2024

This Gist explains how to sign commits using gpg in a step-by-step fashion. Previously, krypt.co was heavily mentioned, but I've only recently learned they were acquired by Akamai and no longer update their previous free products. Those mentions have been removed.

Additionally, 1Password now supports signing Git commits with SSH keys and makes it pretty easy-plus you can easily configure Git Tower to use it for both signing and ssh.

For using a GUI-based GIT tool such as Tower or Github Desktop, follow the steps here for signing your commits with GPG.

Revert / Undo a Gist Commit

It was not exactly obvious. Here's how to revert a Gist commit!

Checkout the gist like a normal git repo:

# replace the Gist ID with your own
git clone [email protected]:cc13e0fcf2c348cc126f918e4a3917eb.git

Treat it like a normal repo. Edit, force push, etc.

Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

	# There was a day where I have too many color schemes in iTerm2 and I want to remove them all.
	# iTerm2 doesn't have "bulk remove" and it was literally painful to delete them one-by-one.

	# iTerm2 save it's preference in ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist in a binary format
	# What you need to do is basically copy that somewhere, convert to xml and remove color schemes in the xml files.
