gitbay repo deploy-key add rejects a key file the SSH API accepts. Same file, back to
back:
$ ssh-keygen -lf runner.pub
256 SHA256:b5HGR3H5A8Fb3A6aE08Qt1TZq8AoFSY/7cmoHThYevM ci-runner@bay1 (ED25519)
$ gitbay repo deploy-key add krz/orgo --rw < runner.pub
not a valid public key in authorized_keys format: ssh: no key found
$ ssh git@gitbay.org repo deploy-key add krz/orgo --rw < runner.pub
deploy key SHA256:b5HGR3H5A8Fb3A6aE08Qt1TZq8AoFSY/7cmoHThYevM (rw) bound to krz/orgo
The key is well-formed — ssh-keygen -lf parses it — and the server accepts it when the
CLI is out of the path, so the CLI is not forwarding stdin to the remote command. Piping
rather than redirecting fails the same way.
gitbay issue create --file - works, so this is not stdin handling in general. The
commands documented as reading stdin (repo deploy-key add, repo secret set,
release asset add, keys add) are worth checking together.
