Option to add ssh keys when they're reinstalled

[alichtman]

At the moment, when ssh keys are reinstalled, they're not "usable."

I'm not sure what the best way to set this up is, but all keys that were added to the ssh daemon should be re-added.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa is the command for adding the id_rsa key on a mac.

Need to consider cross-platform usage too.

This will trip inexperienced users up, and I want this tool to be really user friendly. This is a critical feature to get right.

It's just occurred to me that it's possible this is a bug specific to my environment and not caused by shallow-backup. Can anyone reproduce this?

Hi, is this still something to do?
If so I would test this on my linux machine (Debian 10) and look into it.
Usually for most linux distributions ssh-add is the command to go. What actually means not usable in your description?

[alichtman]

Yeah, this is still something I want to so. Whenever an ssh key is "reinstalled," it should be added to the ssh agent.

Edit: This should be option toggled. When a user reinstalls dots, they should be prompted to add ssh keys or not. It should also be supported with a CLI arg.

nvm, I screwed something up on my laptop. Nothing is wrong with the software lmao
