Example usage: python ssh-copy-id.py ceilfors@my-remote-machine
This script is dependent on msysgit by default as it requires scp and ssh.
For convenience you can also try that comes http://bliker.github.io/cmder/.

Copy link

seems a little risky: .format(args.remote, args.port, remote_key, remote_key) - you can format every individual command
