    Ordinarily yes. In this case however, the file is apparently full of nonsense so clobbering is actually more desirable.

    Alternatively ssh-add might be available.

    ssh-add has no effect on the contents of the authorized_keys file. It is only useful for adding local keys to a local agent.

      🤦 Yes, I misread ssh-add as a local variant of ssh-copy-id
