Expect for where the key is stored. How much difference that makes depends on the use-case. For a developer laptop with a passphrase protected key? Not much of a difference.
ControlMaster is great for development too. That should have been prefixed with that caveat.
In fact, it seems that all recommendations are from the point of view of a developer, not automation. That would be a bad idea for automated systems, as you point out.
- caarlos0 4y agoYes, its from the standpoint of me, as a developer, using these things to improve my own workflow... not to use to automate stuff. Even the control master thing, I mentioned it goes against the purpose of the yubikey, but then I explain how I use it only for github and only for a few seconds to prevent having to touch the key nonstop when updating nvim plugins and such... IMHO its a good tradeoff...
