Passwordless SSH

Tired of typing your password everytime you login into a server. Behold passwordless SSH!

Step 1: Generate a key pair, if not done already

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Step 2: Upload the key pair to the remote server

Ensure the .ssh directory exists on the server before running the next command

ssh-copy-id user@somedomain

Homebrew

https://brew.sh/

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

sshpass

If automation is needed when using SSH password authentication, then a simple tool called sshpass is indispensable.

sshpass -p my_password sftp username@host

jq

Pretty print JSON on the terminal

echo '{"foo": "bar"}' | jq .
