Description Kane 2020-06-11 08:22:55 AEST

The -d option to ssh-add does not accept '-' as an alias for stdin. 

$ cat id_ed25519_test | ssh-add -d -
Bad key file -: No such file or directory

On most platforms you can do "cat id_ed25519_test | ssh-add -d /dev/stdin".

Implement support for "ssh-add -d -"

This adds support for "ssh-add -d -". It allows multiple keys to appear on stdin, one per line. This allows handy recipes like deleting all but certificates "ssh-add -L | grep -v 'cert-v01@openssh.com' | ssh-add -d -"
