New install
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

GitHub Passwordless Setup
Complete guide to setting up passwordless authentication for GitHub using SSH keys and Personal Access Tokens (PAT). Once configured, you'll never need to enter passwords for Git operations or GitHub CLI commands. Verified Working: โ macOS 10.15+ (tested on 14.4) โ Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch) โ Windows (WSL2, Git Bash)
๐ฏ What This Solves
Before: โ Type password every time you push/pull โ GitHub CLI requires re-authentication โ Tokens expire and break workflows โ HTTPS URLs need credentials repeatedly After: โ Zero-password Git operations (push/pull/clone) โ Zero-password repository creation โ Zero-password issue/PR management โ Persistent authentication (no expiration)
๐ Quick Setup
One-line automated setup: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/happydog-intj/github-passwordless-setup/master/setup.sh | bash Or follow the manual steps below.
Part 1: SSH Key Configuration
SSH keys enable password-free Git operations (push/pull/clone). Step 1: Check for Existing SSH Keys ls -la ~/.ssh/*.pub If you see id_ed25519.pub or id_rsa.pub, you already have a key. Skip to Step 3. Step 2: Generate New SSH Key Recommended: ED25519 (most secure) ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your-email@example.com" Or RSA (if ED25519 not supported): ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your-email@example.com" During generation: Press Enter for default location (~/.ssh/id_ed25519) Enter passphrase (optional but recommended) macOS will save passphrase to Keychain Step 3: Copy Public Key # macOS cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | pbcopy # Linux (xclip) cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | xclip -selection clipboard # Linux (xsel) cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | xsel --clipboard # Or just display and copy manually cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub Step 4: Add Key to GitHub Visit: https://github.com/settings/ssh/new Title: Your Computer Name (macOS/Linux) Key type: Authentication Key Key: Paste your public key Click Add SSH key Step 5: Test SSH Connection ssh -T git@github.com Expected output: Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Part 2: GitHub Personal Access Token
PAT enables password-free GitHub CLI operations (create repos, manage issues/PRs). Step 1: Generate Token Visit: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new Configuration: Note: OpenClaw CLI Token (or any description) Expiration: No expiration (or 90 days) Select scopes: โ repo (all sub-scopes) โ workflow (if using GitHub Actions) โ delete_repo (if you need to delete repositories) โ admin:org (if managing organizations) Click Generate token and copy it immediately (shown only once!). Format: ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Step 2: Install GitHub CLI macOS: brew install gh Linux (Debian/Ubuntu): type -p curl >/dev/null || (sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y) curl -fsSL https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg sudo chmod go+r /usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null sudo apt update sudo apt install gh -y Other Linux: See: https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md Step 3: Configure Token # Method 1: Interactive (paste when prompted) gh auth login --with-token # Then paste your token and press Enter # Method 2: One-line (replace YOUR_TOKEN) echo "ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" | gh auth login --with-token Step 4: Set Git Protocol to SSH gh config set git_protocol ssh This ensures gh commands use SSH (not HTTPS) for Git operations.
Part 3: Verification
Verify SSH Configuration # Test SSH connection ssh -T git@github.com # Expected: Hi username! You've successfully authenticated... Verify GitHub CLI # Check authentication status gh auth status # Expected: โ Logged in to github.com account username # Test API access gh api user --jq '.login' # Expected: your-username Verify Complete Workflow # Test creating a repository (will create and delete) gh repo create test-auth-$(date +%s) --public --description "Test" \ && echo "โ Create: SUCCESS" \ && gh repo delete $(gh repo list --limit 1 --json name --jq '.[0].name') --yes \ && echo "โ Delete: SUCCESS" All operations should complete without prompting for passwords.
๐ Convert Existing Repos to SSH
If you have existing repositories using HTTPS URLs: # Check current remote git remote -v # If it shows https://github.com/... # Convert to SSH git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/repo.git # Verify git remote -v # Should show: git@github.com:username/repo.git Batch convert all repos in a directory: find . -name ".git" -type d | while read gitdir; do cd "$gitdir/.." if git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | grep -q "https://github.com"; then REPO=$(git remote get-url origin | sed 's|https://github.com/|git@github.com:|') git remote set-url origin "$REPO" echo "โ Converted: $(pwd)" fi cd - > /dev/null done

SSH Issues
Problem: "Permission denied (publickey)" # Check SSH agent ssh-add -l # If empty or error, add your key ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 # macOS: Add to Keychain permanently ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Problem: "Host key verification failed" # Remove old host key ssh-keygen -R github.com # Reconnect (will prompt to add new key) ssh -T git@github.com
GitHub CLI Issues
Problem: "Requires authentication" # Check token validity gh auth status # Re-authenticate gh auth logout gh auth login --with-token Problem: "Token scopes insufficient" Create a new token with broader scopes: Visit: https://github.com/settings/tokens Delete old token Create new with repo, workflow, delete_repo
General Issues
Check Configuration Files: # SSH config cat ~/.ssh/config # GitHub CLI config cat ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml # Git config git config --global --list
SSH Keys
Use ED25519 (more secure than RSA) Set a passphrase (optional but recommended) Use ssh-agent (macOS Keychain, gnome-keyring) Never share private keys (id_ed25519 - no .pub) Revoke compromised keys immediately at https://github.com/settings/keys
Personal Access Tokens
Minimum scopes needed (don't select all) Set expiration (90 days for security, or no expiration for convenience) Revoke unused tokens at https://github.com/settings/tokens Never commit tokens to repositories Rotate regularly (every 90 days recommended)
SSH Config File
Create ~/.ssh/config for custom settings: Host github.com HostName github.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 AddKeysToAgent yes UseKeychain yes
Multiple GitHub Accounts
# ~/.ssh/config Host github-personal HostName github.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_personal Host github-work HostName github.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_work Clone with specific account: git clone git@github-personal:username/repo.git git clone git@github-work:company/repo.git
Git Aliases
Add to ~/.gitconfig: [alias] pushf = push --force-with-lease undo = reset --soft HEAD~1 amend = commit --amend --no-edit sync = !git fetch --all && git pull
๐ Environment Variables
Optional environment variables for automation: # GitHub CLI export GH_TOKEN="ghp_xxxxx" # Auto-auth for gh commands # Git export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519" # Force specific key Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc): # GitHub CLI auto-auth (optional) if [ -f ~/.config/gh/token ]; then export GH_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.config/gh/token) fi
Update SSH Key
# Generate new key ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "new-email@example.com" # Add to GitHub cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | pbcopy # Visit: https://github.com/settings/ssh/new # Update old repos (if using specific key in config) git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
Rotate GitHub Token
# Create new token at https://github.com/settings/tokens/new # Configure it echo "ghp_NEW_TOKEN" | gh auth login --with-token # Revoke old token at https://github.com/settings/tokens
