github-auth
===========

[](#github-auth)

This is a php port of Chris Hunt's [github-auth](https://github.com/chrishunt/github-auth). I did this mainly because I have been writing a php command line application and needed something like it.

### Pairing with strangers has never been so good.

[](#pairing-with-strangers-has-never-been-so-good)

**github-auth** allows you to quickly pair with anyone who has a GitHub account by adding and removing their public ssh keys from your [`authorized_keys`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-agent) file.

Install
-------

[](#install)

`composer global require "marcusmyers/github-auth=~1.0.0"`

Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your `PATH` so the `gh-auth` executable is found when you run the `gh-auth` command in your terminal.

Ussage
------
