ssh-import-id-lp USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]

ssh-import-id-gh USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]

OPTIONS

-h | --help usage
-o | --output F write output to file 'F' (default ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, use "-" for
standard out)
-r | --remove remove keys from authorized keys file 'F'
-u | --useragent U append U to the user agent string
PROTO:USER_ID Protocol can be 'lp' for Launchpad.net, or 'gh' for Github.com

DESCRIPTION

This utility will securely contact a public keyserver and retrieve one or more user's
public keys, and append these to the current user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, standard
output or any other specified output file.

User IDs can be prepended by a protocol:

- lp: to use https://launchpad.net/~%s/+sshkeys
- gh: to use https://api.github.com/users/%s/keys

If the protocol is not explicitly specified, then ssh-import-id will read a URL variable
string from /etc/ssh/ssh_import_id as installed by your package manager and configured by
your system administrator. You can override this locally by exporting the string you want
in a URL environment variable. If all of these are empty, then the protocol is assumed to
be "lp:", which was the original target implementation of this tool.

Any keys added will be "labled" with a trailing comment, "# ssh-import-id PROTO:USER_ID".
Revoking keys will first look for lines in the authorized keys file ending with that
label.

Use ssh-import-id-gh online using onworks.net services
