Tool to manage ssh connections for a server

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer global require innmind/warden
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
warden wakeup
```

This will modify the ssh configuration to only allow connections via ssh key.

```
warden grant [user]
```

This will add the ssh keys the user added on his github account to `.ssh/authorized_keys`

```
warden lock
```

This will stop the ssh service, **to be used carefully** as you won't be able to connect to your server afterward.
