ssh-keyput

Copies your ssh public key to a server.

Because ssh user@hostname "echo cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" is too hard to remember.

Since OS X does not have the handy "ssh-copy-id" bash script by default I wanted to add a gem that I could install easily to perform the same task.

Currently this is no more than a sh script, as it depends on a number of unix commands (like ssh and ssh-keygen). I am sure that much of this could be replace by pure ruby libraries (and then be made dependencies) but this does what I need it to and I don't have to remember complicated commands.

It is pronounced "ssssh-kaput."
