**Seed SSH Key** is a simple Bash script that generates a new RSA SSH key, copies it to a target host, and reminds you to remove any unauthorized keys. Perfect for quickly setting up secure SSH access to remote servers.

## ✨ Features

- **Generate RSA Key:** Creates a new 4096-bit RSA key with a custom comment and timestamped filename.
- **SSH Key Seeding:** Automatically seeds the generated public key to your target host using `ssh-copy-id`.
- **Security Reminders:** Provides guidance on how to manage and remove unauthorized keys.

## 🚀 Installation

Install **Seed SSH Key** using [Kevin's Package Manager](https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager):

```bash
pkgmgr install seedssh
```

This command installs the script under the alias **seedssh**.

## ⚙️ Usage

Run the script from your terminal by specifying the target host:

```bash
seedssh <target_host>
```

For example:

```bash
seedssh example.com
```

### How It Works

1. **Key Generation:** The script generates a new RSA key (4096-bit) and saves it to your `~/.ssh` directory with a timestamped filename.
2. **Key Seeding:** It automatically uses `ssh-copy-id` to copy the public key to the specified target host.
3. **Security Notice:** The script reminds you to remove any unauthorized keys and provides an example command for managing your `authorized_keys`.
