 common16 | Here's what my flake currently looks like: http://pastie.org/p/3N2t6Kw1PGAZ6QXtemPcXB | 17:10:41 |
| common16 | Every time I start WSL I'm using ssh-add to manually add my GH creds but I'm not sure if it's being added to the wrong(?) ssh-agent or what's going on | 17:11:16 |
| common16 | I also removed git completely from the Windows side of my machine so I'm not even sure if the .gitconfig is still valid to "inject" into my WSL(?) | 17:12:16 |
 bumperboat | without seeing an error - my guess since I do not see any configuration to start and configure a user ssh-agent within your user environment that the ssh-add will fail | 22:08:38 |
| bumperboat | i would suggest look at using home-manager for your user it can be configured to start the agent for you and manage all the things (tm) | 22:10:22 |
| bumperboat | interesting, i didnt know nixos proper had these systemd.user.services - and has programs.ssh.startAgent - it uses environment.extraInit to set the ssh-agent environment variables - but i dunno how fish works as its not posix if that works -- you will have to see if ssh-agent is running for your user and make sure the environment variables are being set correctly | 22:43:17 |
| common16 | I think I'm getting a bit confused as to how ssh-agent works. The actual error I'm receiving is a generic "ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out" | 23:32:00 |
| common16 | When I update the ssh-add line to be "ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_no_passkey" I can see that it successfully adds the identity but I'm not sure if it's adding it for a stale agent(?) | 23:32:41 |
| common16 | In my fish.shellInit I've also tried doing:
if test -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
set -l latest_socket (ls -t /tmp/ssh-*/agent.* | head -n 1)
set -gx SSH_AUTH_SOCK $latest_socket
end
and eval $(ssh-agent -c)
| 23:33:43 |
| common16 | But I mainly have no idea what I'm doing and am just winging it lol | 23:38:01 |

| bumperboat | The error is not authentication it's not getting that far | 00:20:48 |
| bumperboat | Are you on ipv6 only | 00:21:47 |
| bumperboat | Or behind a firewall | 00:23:38 |
| common16 | I shouldn't be (aside from general defaults). I was previously able to push / pull (even using WSL) but it seems to be really temperamental now that I've been gutting the Windows side | 00:47:18 |
| bumperboat | oohh if you run which git -- is it in your windows path or something? | 03:32:57 |
| bumperboat | or ssh | 03:35:55 |
|  @leiti:e4xo.org left the room. | 08:08:59 |
| common16 | Those are all my WSL path(s). e.g., /run/current-system/sw/bin/git and bin/ssh-agent | 14:09:29 |
| common16 | * Those are all my WSL path(s). e.g., /run/current-system/sw/bin/git and /run/current-system/sw/bin/ssh-agent | 14:44:06 |
| common16 | bumperboat: How would you set this up if you were to start fresh? I'm only really looking to pull from GH using an SSH key | 16:29:19 |

| bumperboat | i suggest leaning into home-manager for user config - it can then be used to install your configuration on non nixos systems as well. it has abstractions to set environment variables and aliases that are generic to allow you to use different shells with impunity | 00:24:30 |
| common16 | I thought it was more than user config that was at play though(?) 🤔 | 01:50:38 |
| common16 | Honestly I wonder if this is a fish issue. I can run ssh-agent -c a bunch of times and each time it'll spin up a new agent(?) and I can successfully ssh-add my passkey but it will more often than not still timeout when trying to push and pull from GH | 01:53:22 |
| common16 | I've been able to get it to work only twice so far but both were shortlived and I'm not entirely sure how / why they were working | 01:53:45 |
| bumperboat | oh i misunderstood your question about starting fresh then. yes it sounds like your agent is not setup right. | 02:17:31 |
| common16 | Do you have any guidance on how I can ensure my agent is configured correctly? Right now I ideally would only have my passkey on the Windows side and then everything else would be WSL / Nix side | 02:22:14 |
| bumperboat | i dont know fish shell | 02:23:37 |
| common16 | I switched over to zsh and it looks like that remedied most / all(?) of my SSH woes.
Now I'm just battling python woes lol | 15:33:25 |
