eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" eval not found

[sandragjacinto]

hi ! I am trying to use a-shell with git bue I am unable to start the ss-agent because eval errors not found.

Have you encounter this issue ?

thanks !

I think that in a-Shell you just need to call ssh-agent instead of eval "$(ssh-agent -s)".

I guess @sandragjacinto is trying to configure ssh-key for GitHub. If so, then I've to say that it's not to easy.

Did some workarounds and this is what I've now

First you have to generate ssh-key ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

Then, change the .ssh/config file to:

Host GitHub
     HostName github.com
     User your_github_user
     IdentifyFile ~/Document/.ssh/ed25519 # this is the name of your private key
     AddKeyToAgent yes
     IdentitiesOnly yes

Then give the right permissions

As a result, when you type git clone [email protected]:your_github_user/projects.git it will ask you the password. Unfortunately it will request every time your password. As a solution, I had to change the config file from git (.git/config) (not recommend) to:

[user]
   identityFile = ~/Document/.ssh/ed25519 # this is the name of your private key
   password = "your_password_here"
   name = "your_github_user"
   email = "your_github_user_email"

This is because UseKeychain doesn't work, at least for me.
