Setting up the repo

mac/linux

1. Create a new key-pair (be sure to avoid committing the private key to the repo)

   ssh-keygen -f ./ansible-key -t rsa -b 4096 -C ansible-key

2. Create a new secret in your repo called ANSIBLE_PUBLIC_KEY and paste the contents of ansible-key.pub into the value field.
3. Encrypt the private key with gpg (you will commit this to the repo)

   gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 ansible-key

4. Enter a super strong password, but keep it handy.
5. Create a new secret in your repo called SSH_PASSPHRASE and paste the super strong password you used above into the value field.
6. Make sure the encrypted private key is in the proper directory

   mv ansible-key.gpg .github/config/ansible-key.gpg    ```

7. Commit the encrypted private key to your repo in the .github/config directory

   git add .github/config/ansible-key.gpg
   git commit -m "Add encrypted ansible key"
   git push
