GitHub Personal Access Token

I had to resolve this to fix an issue and create a pull request today. These are the steps I took:

  • ssh into Zynthian
  • ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "user@email.address"
    • accept default file path
    • enter empty passphrase (to avoid being asked for it each time you pull or commit)
  • cat /root/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  • Copy printed text to copy buffer (highlight and right click on my OS)
  • Point web browser at Add new SSH keys (github.com) (login if necessary)
  • Add a title (I used zynthian) and paste the ssh text into the key field then click Add SSH Key
  • In zynthian ssh session, change to each zynthian repository directory and enter git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zynthian/<repo name>, e.g.
cd /zynthian/zynthian-webconf
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zynthian/zynthian-webconf.git

A problem (yet to be resolve) is that the passphrase is requested for git pull commands which stops updates working. Anyone know how to fix that?

[Edit] The code block to set all the repos:

cd /zynthian/zynthian-webconf
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zynthian/zynthian-webconf.git
cd /zynthian/zynthian-ui
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zynthian/zynthian-ui.git
cd /zynthian/zynthian-sys
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zynthian/zynthian-sys.git
cd /zynthian/zynthian-data
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zynthian/zynthian-data.git
