ssh-add
is a command for adding SSH private keys into the SSH authentication agent. In this simpliest form ssh-add can be run without any arguments in order to add the default keys (if they exist) to your ssh-agent : ~/.ssh/id_rsa
~/.ssh/id_dsa
, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa
~/.ssh/id_ed25519
, and ~/.ssh/identity
:
ssh-add
If you have multiple keys, you can add them with the following command :
ssh-add ~/.ssh/yourSpecialKey
To list all they keys :
ssh-add -l
To remove a key :
ssh-add -d ~/.ssh/yourSepcialKey
To remove all keys :
ssh-add -D
