## pw ssh-public-keys

Get the SSH public keys for a user

### Synopsis

The **pw ssh-public-keys** command prints the SSH public keys a user has registered
with the platform, in authorized_keys format.

It is designed to serve as an sshd **AuthorizedKeysCommand**, so it also works without
stored credentials as long as **--platform-host** (or **PW_PLATFORM_HOST**) is set.

```
pw ssh-public-keys <username> [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Print a user's registered public keys
  pw ssh-public-keys jake.thayne
  
  # Use as an sshd AuthorizedKeysCommand without stored credentials
  pw ssh-public-keys --platform-host activate.parallel.works jake.thayne
```

### Options

```
  -h, --help   help for ssh-public-keys
```

### Options inherited from parent commands
