So you are looking to use github / gitlab to manage your infrastructure and development. To do this effectively you will need to prepare your environment. Here is an example.
This is for our ansible playbook.
Install Required Dependencies
yum update -y yum install -y vim git ansible tree fail2ban
Add user for repo
useradd -m -G wheel osan passwd osan
Secure SSH by disabling root login and changing SSH port
sed 's/#PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/g;s/#Port 22/Port 222/g' -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config firewall-cmd --add-port=666/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload systemctl restart sshd.service
Generate key for osan user
su - osan ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa -N ''
Output the key you generated
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The next step is adding your SSH key above to the ‘profiles’ section of your gitlab/github user. Find this in my profile, under ‘SSH KEYS’.
Set Git Variables
USERNAME=yourgitlabusername git config --global user.name $USERNAME git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Clone Project
git clone [email protected]:$USERNAME/projectname.git
