BitByBit Academy Step 1: Verify SSH authentication

Work in your own template copy of this repository.

Read First

• Module 04: SSH setup

Before You Run Anything

If you have not cloned your template copy locally yet, do that first.

Recommended first clone:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git
cd your-repo-name

Use HTTPS for the first clone because SSH is configured in this step.

Your Task

Run the authentication check from the root of your repository.

macOS/Linux:

bash scripts/run-auth-check.sh

Windows PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/run-auth-check.ps1

Windows Command Prompt:

scripts\run-auth-check.cmd

What This Check Validates

• Git is installed
• your Git identity is configured
• your SSH key pair exists
• ssh-agent is available
• GitHub SSH authentication works when requested

What Success Looks Like

• the authentication check finishes with no FAIL
• you understand that this step is about authentication, not commit signing yet

When You Finish

1. comment on this issue with a short summary of your results
2. include any WARN items you still need to fix
3. close this issue

When this issue is closed, the next guided issue will be created automatically.

[osvdevv]

I ran the run-auth-check.sh script and everything looks good with 0 FAILs. My Git identity is configured and GitHub SSH authentication succeeded. I also updated my remote origin URL to use SSH.

Warnings:
The only remaining WARN is "Skipping signing checks for the authentication stage", but I understand this is expected and will be covered later in module 05.
