~/.bashrc on Linux or ~/.bash on MacOS

Test on the terminal (just paste it on the terminal and execute it):

content_copyenv LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c "16" | xargs

If the shell you use is bash, you can add it to ./bash_profile as follows:

content_copyalias gpw='genpasswd'
genpasswd() {
env LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c "16" | xargs
}


Remember to update source ~/.bash_profile take effect.
Then we only need to enter gpw to generate a set of random passwords.

                                        Sometimes it is necessary to generate an ssh key pair for automatic configuration.

There is no password query in the command line, and an ssh key pair is generated.
