gitHubKeys user

gitHubKeys returns user's public SSH keys from GitHub using the GitHub API. The returned value is a slice of structs with .ID and .Key fields.

Warning

If you use this function to populate your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file then you potentially open SSH access to anyone who is able to modify or add to your GitHub public SSH keys, possibly including certain GitHub employees. You should not use this function on publicly-accessible machines and should always verify that no unwanted keys have been added, for example by using the -v / --verbose option when running chezmoi apply or chezmoi update.

Additionally, GitHub automatically removes keys which haven't been used in the last year. This may cause your keys to be removed from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys suddenly, and without any warning or indication of the removal. You should provide one or more keys in plain text alongside this function to avoid unknowingly losing remote access to your machine.

Example

{{ range gitHubKeys "user" }}
{{- .Key }}
{{ end }}
