Copy SSH key to clipboard
An SSH key is usually stored in the form of a file. To copy an SSH key to your clipboard, you can use one of the following options:
Option 1 - Copy from terminal
The first option is to print the key in the terminal and then simply copy it
using a cursor. To do this, run the following command and simply replace the
ssh/mykey.pub with the actual key you want to copy :
cat /ssh/mykey.pub
Option 2 - Using pbcopy (Only on Mac)
If you are using Mac, you can run the following command to pipe the contents of the file to your clipboard:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy
