Avoid overlong line by breaking the line after pipe. . No SP between redirection operator '>' and redirection target. echo "testpayload" | ssh-keygen -Y sign -n "git" -f "${GPGSSH_KEY_PRIMARY}" >gpgssh_prereq.sig && Also I wonder if preparation of GPGSSH_ALLOWED_SIGNERS file can be simplified and made easier to read. Instead of adding one line at a time like this: > echo "\"principal with not yet valid key\" valid-after=\"29990101000000\" $(cat "${GPGSSH_KEY_NOTYETVALID}.pub")" >> "${GPGSSH_ALLOWED_SIGNERS}" if you define variables with meaningful name and used here document, e.g. ts2005a=200504070000 ts2005b=200504100000 && key_timeboxedvalid=$(cat "${GPGSSH_KEY_TIMEBOXEDVALID}.pub") && ts2999=299901010000 && key_notyetvalid=$(cat "${GPGSSH_KEY_NOTYETVALID}.pub") && cat >"${GPGSSH_ALLOWED_SIGNERS}" <<-EOF && "principal with not yet valid key" valid-after="$ts2999" $key_notyetvalid "timeboxed valid key" valid-after="$ts2005a",valid-before="$ts2005b" $key_timeboxedvalid ...
