Creating and adding a new SSH key

For the 💫Database & 🎩Composer tasks in Swiff, a PEM format SSH key is required.

You can create a new SSH key that works with Swiff by:

1. Create a new PEM key (empty passphrase) with ssh-keygen:
   ssh-keygen -m PEM -b 4096 -f /Users/[your-user]/.ssh/[new-key-filename]
   

2. Then add the key to the server:
   ssh-copy-id /Users/[your-user]/.ssh/[new-key-filename] [username@host]

3. Then specify the custom SSH key path in your project .env file with:
   SWIFF_CUSTOM_KEY="/Users/[your-user]/.ssh/[new-key-filename]"

4. Run swiff --database to download the database from the remote server
