SSH Key Installation

A tiny script to copy your SSH public keys from your local machine to a remote server. It’ll search your .ssh/ folder for known public keys and if it finds one, it’ll add it to the remote authorized_keys file.

Install

gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install adamcooke-key-installer
