NAME Config::Identity - Load (and optionally decrypt via GnuPG) user/pass identity information VERSION version 0.0018 SYNOPSIS PAUSE: use Config::Identity::PAUSE; # 1. Find either $HOME/.pause-identity or $HOME/.pause # 2. Decrypt the found file (if necessary), read, and parse it # 3. Throw an exception unless %identity has 'user' and 'password' defined my %identity = Config::Identity::PAUSE->load; print "user: $identity{user} password: $identity{password}\n"; GitHub API: use Config::Identity::GitHub; # 1. Find either $HOME/.github-identity or $HOME/.github # 2. Decrypt the found file (if necessary) read, and parse it # 3. Throw an exception unless %identity has 'login' and 'token' defined my %identity = Config::Identity::PAUSE->load; print "login: $identity{login} token: $identity{token}\n"; DESCRIPTION Config::Identity is a tool for loadiing (and optionally decrypting via GnuPG) user/pass identity information For GitHub API access, an identity is a "login"/"token" pair For PAUSE access, an identity is a "user"/"password" pair USAGE %identity = Config::Identity->load_best( ) First attempt to load an identity from $HOME/.-identity If that file does not exist, then attempt to load an identity from $HOME/. The file may be optionally GnuPG encrypted %identity will be populated like so: For example: username alice password hunter2 Using a custom "gpg" or passing custom arguments You can specify a custom "gpg" executable by setting the CI_GPG environment variable export CI_GPG="$HOME/bin/gpg" You can pass custom arguments by setting the CI_GPG_ARGUMENTS environment variable export CI_GPG_ARGUMENTS="--no-secmem-warning" Encrypting your identity information with GnuPG If you've never used GnuPG before, first initialize it: # Follow the prompts to create a new key for yourself gpg --gen-key To encrypt your GitHub identity with GnuPG using the above key: # Follow the prompts, using the above key as the "recipient" # Use ^D once you've finished typing out your authentication information gpg -ea > $HOME/.github Caching your GnuPG secret key via gpg-agent Put the following in your .*rc if which gpg-agent 1>/dev/null then if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info && \ kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/null then . "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" export GPG_AGENT_INFO else eval `gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"` fi else fi PAUSE identity format user password "username" can also be used as alias for "user" GitHub identity format login token AUTHOR Robert Krimen COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2014 by Robert Krimen.
