-### Setup ssh key for github
-
-> :construction: This needs to be turned into a little script or something
-
-The first ssh key is generated for github:
-
-```
-ssh-keygen -q -t ed25519 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github <<<y >/dev/null 2>&1
-
-# older machines might not support ed25519, then use RSA with 4096 bit key
-# ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github <<<y >/dev/null 2>&1
-```
-
-Log in to github.
-Go to [github.com/settings/ssh/new](https://github.com/settings/ssh/new).
-Enter a title format in the format `2022-homeserver`.
-Enter the key returned by `cat ~/.ssh/id_*_github.pub`.
-Now you can clone your private repos and make changes to your public repos.
