How I load a common SSH agent for git in Linux with ZSH shell in Ubuntu

	#!/bin/zsh

	# Install keychain via `sudo apt update && sudo apt install keychain`
	# Add space-delimited SSH and GPG keynames you want to load on line 7.
	# They will persist across terminals.
	keychain -q -k others --nogui --agents gpg,ssh \
	id_rsa AB44DF0C6FEC01F2B396AE0429410408D95E08AA
	[ -z "$HOSTNAME" ] && HOSTNAME=`uname -n`
	[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh ] && \

jdmallen / .bashrc (Windows)

Last active December 19, 2024 17:10

My .bashrc file that I use in Windows alongside the PowerShell profile, which loads a common SSH agent for git

	# Starts an SSH agent for use with git.
	# I designed this to share the same agent between PowerShell and Git Bash.
	# Make sure you set $GIT_SSH at the User or System level to point to
	# whichever ssh-agent.exe PowerShell is using, or else this won't work.
	function start_agent {
	/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh-agent.exe > /dev/null
	# Output agent's PID to file
	ps -W \| grep ssh-agent \| awk '{print $4}' \| head -n 1 > ~/.ssh/pid
	/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh-add.exe ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pri # or wherever your private keys are

My personal PowerShell profile-- think of it as a `.bashrc` file for PS-- that loads a common SSH agent for git

	# Gives me git info in the shell when in git directories
	Import-Module posh-git

	# Simple function to tell me if I'm in an admin window or not
	Function Test-Elevated
	{
	$wid = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()
	$prp = New-Object System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal($wid)
	$adm = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator
	$prp.IsInRole($adm)

An anonymized version of the configuration file I often use with OpenSSL

	# OpenSSL root CA configuration file.

	[ ca ]
	# `man ca`
	default_ca = ICA_default

	[ CA_default ]
	# Directory and file locations.
	dir = ./ca # Where everything is kept
	certs = $dir/certs # Where the issued certs are kept

Sample commands for OpenSSL, assuming you have an external openssl.cfg file to use (see other gist)

Generate private RSA key with AES encryption

openssl genrsa -out .\path\to\my_cert_encrypted.key -aes256 4096

openssl genrsa -out .\path\to\my_cert.key 4096

Check if .NET Core/5+ app is running elevated

	// To check if you are running as root on Unix:
	// 1. Add a PackageReference to Mono.Posix.NETStandard
	// 2. Change IsAdminstrator to the following:

	public static bool IsAdministrator =>
	RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows)
	? new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent())
	.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator)
