User Notes

We’d love it if you took notes about your experience getting started and then using Cmd.io. You can then share on UserNotes and we can use them as living documents to improve the experience. Also, if something is wrong on this page or any other, feel free to edit this wiki!

Setup

This document is currently for the alpha release channel (alpha.cmd.io) … any accidental references to the cmd.io domain should be read as alpha.cmd.io

Cmd.io uses your GitHub user for authentication. It also relies on the public keys stored with your GitHub account. If you haven’t uploaded a public key to GitHub, you can easily add one in Settings under SSH and GPG keys.

Now you can connect to Cmd.io over SSH:

$ ssh progrium@alpha.cmd.io
Usage:
  ssh <user>@cmd.io [command]

Available Commands:
  cmd-add             Install a command
  cmd-ls              List installed commands
  cmd-rm              Uninstall a command

Use "[command] --help" for help about a meta command.

If you’re using a local user with the same username as your GitHub username, SSH will use it by default. If not, you can also avoid specifying a username with some configuration added to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host alpha.cmd.io
    User progrium
