From 2ab72a16d9e3f1aca223f5da5aaf8b533d8fa35a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olamide Caleb Bello Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:13:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] gpg-interface: do not use misdesigned strbuf_split*() In get_default_ssh_signing_key(), the default ssh signing key is retrieved in `key_stdout` buf, which is then split using strbuf_split_max() into up to two strbufs at a new line and the first strbuf is returned as a `char *`and not a strbuf. This makes the function lack the use of strbuf API as no edits are performed on the split tokens. Simplify the process of retrieving and returning the desired line by using strchr() to isolate the line and xmemdupz() to return a copy of the line. This removes the roundabout way of splitting the string into strbufs, just to return the line.
