Windows: Generate SSH Keys

Windows:  Generate SSH Keys 

There are several way to generate SSH Keys.  This example uses just ssh-keygen


ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048

Then you can find the generated key

C:\> cd %HomePath%/.ssh 


Reference:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/ssh-from-windows

Mac: Generate SSH to use with Github

Open Terminal and type:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "yourname@yourdomain.com"

Use the defaults by pressing enter..  Generic Example:

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/john.doe/.ssh/id_rsa): 
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
Your identification has been saved in /Users/john.doe/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/john.doe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:s/NA0e62g1zjEmAtUIi42/cEEicAGVs+fDcuAtOFlrY john.doe@doeinc.com
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 4096]----+
|         .o+o+oo.|
|        o+o.+oo.=|
|       . o+.+=+++|
|        o  o++++.|
|       .S. ..*o.o|
|        o=o.o+.. |
|        o.o.+E*  |
|         ++.++ o |
|          .++.. +|
+----[SHA256]-----+

Change to .ssh directory

$ cd ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Open the public key

$ nano ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Copy all the text

Open Github.com

Go to Settings (Upper right avatar icon)

Choose SSH and GPG Keys

Click "New SSH Key"

Paste your key into the text area and give it a name.

Change of Email on Github causes Mac Bash Permissions Connection Issue

Change of Email on Github causes Mac Bash Permissions Connection Issue

If you change your email on Github it will cause your previously saved Github credentials on Mac to become invalid because it was cached in the Keychain Access.  When you try to connect to github, it thinks the password is valid and tries to use it for your Github access.  You'll need to delete it.

Solution:

Make sure to change your local git config global user.email

$ git config --global user.email "your.email@domain.com"

Just go to Keychain Access (Command + Space) and type Keychain Access.

Find the github.com name in the list where kind is Internet Password and delete it.  

From command again try connecting to Github and should prompt you for the updated password associated to the new email.

Angular 5 to 6 Upgrade Migration with Error Fixes

Angular 5 to 6 Upgrade Migration

  • Go to https://update.angular.io/ to generate steps for upgrade.
  • Switch HtpModule and Http to HttpClientModule and HttpClient
  • Make sure you're using Node 8 or later
  • Run the commands
    • ng install -g @angular/cli
    • ng install @angular/cli
    • ng update @angular/cli
    • ng update @angular/cli (Yes this was intended.  Run it twice, I think there is a bug with update).  This will cause angular-cli.json to be updated (Renamed) to angular.json and keep you from getting the error:  Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found.
  • ng update @angular/core
  • ng update @angular/material
  • ng update
  • ng update
  • rxjs-5-to-6-migrate -p src/tsconfig.app.json
  • Remove deprecated RxJS 6 features using rxjs-tslint auto update rules.  If you don't you'll get errors like node_modules/rxjs/BehaviorSubject.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/BehaviorSubject'.
    • npm install -g rxjs-tslint
    • npm install --save rxjs-tslint
  • Add rules to tslin.json
    • {
        "rulesDirectory": [
          "node_modules/rxjs-tslint"
        ],
        "rules": {
          "rxjs-collapse-imports": true,
          "rxjs-pipeable-operators-only": true,
          "rxjs-no-static-observable-methods": true,
          "rxjs-proper-imports": true
        }
      }
    • Lint the project by executing
      • ./node_modules/.bin/tslint -c tslint.json -p tsconfig.json
      • If you get the error Error: Cannot find module 'typescript', run npm install -g typescript then re-run 
        • ./node_modules/.bin/tslint -c tslint.json -p tsconfig.json
  • Once you all all of your dependencies have update to RxJs, remove rxjs-compat

ASP.NET Core - Entity Framework - Code First Add-Migration - Unable to resolve service for type Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Migrations.IMigrator.

Entity Framework Error:

Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Migrations.IMigrator'. This is often because no database provider has been configured for this DbContext. A provider can be configured by overriding the DbContext.OnConfiguring method or by using AddDbContext on the application service provider. If AddDbContext is used, then also ensure that your DbContext type accepts a DbContextOptions<TContext> object in its constructor and passes it to the base constructor for DbContext.

Solution:

Verify the connectionstring in the appsettings.json file.

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "CustomerDb":  "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=Customer;Trusted_Connection=True;"
  }
}
On Startup.cs, ConfigureService method, verify, you are correctly initializing the Context

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options =>
            {
                // This lambda determines whether user consent for non-essential cookies is needed for a given request.
                options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
                options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
            });

            services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("CustomerDb")));

            services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
        }
