Set up to SSH into Forge server
In the rare cases that I need to troubleshoot something on the forge server, like resolving divergent branches, I need to be able to SSH into the forge server.
Jason Beggs directed me on how to do this in this Clarifyflow thread.
I did this on my Intel iMac and my M1 Macbook Air. If you get a new mac, do this again by following these instructions:
Generate SSH key passphrases
I followed GitHub's docs on this here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent
While generating, create a 1Password record
Use 1Password's SSH key login type (it's made for this).
Generate a password there.
Then paste the password into terminal when generating the new SSH key. Terminal will prompt you to paste it twice (you won't be able to see it when pasting).
Save the SSH key in 1Password
Save the SSH key to Forge
Go to the Keys page here:
Give it a name like brian-computer-name
Use 1Password to auto-fill the public key.
Add to Servers
Click "Add to Servers" and select my server.
Now you're good to go.
To SSH into the server, use this:
