* `host` - ssh host
* `port` - ssh port, default is `22`
* `username` - ssh username
* `password` - ssh password

### Setting up SSH Key
### Setting up a SSH Key
Make sure to follow the below steps while creating SSH Keys and using them.
The best practice is create the SSH Keys on local machine not remote machine.
Login with username specified in Github Secrets. Generate a RSA Key-Pair:
<details>
<summary>rsa</summary>
<p>
```bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
```
</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>ed25519</summary>
<p>
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 200 -C "your_email@example.com"
```
</p>
</details>
Add newly generated key into Authorized keys. Read more about authorized keys [here](https://www.ssh.com/ssh/authorized_keys/).
<details>
<summary>rsa</summary>
<p>
```bash
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b@B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
```
</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>ed25519</summary>
<p>
```bash
cat .ssh/id_ed25519.pub | ssh b@B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
```
</p>
</details>
Copy Private Key content and paste in Github Secrets.
<details>
<summary>rsa</summary>
<p>
```bash
clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```
</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>ed25519</summary>

Protecting a Private Key. The purpose of the passphrase is usually to encrypt the private key. This makes the key file by itself useless to an attacker. It is not uncommon for files to leak from backups or decommissioned hardware, and hackers commonly exfiltrate files from compromised systems.
