Untitled, for now.

In an earlier post , I mentioned how to switch your GitHub remote URL from HTTPS to SSH, which can improve productivity. Now before you can push and pull your repositories automatically, you'll also need to set up your SSH key. Setting SSH keys is extremely useful and can be applied to other uses outside GitHub; essentially whenever you need access to a remote server you will be required to provide a username and password, and setting an SSH key allows secure access to the desired server without having the user to provide that information every single time. SSH stands for secure shell or secure socket shell, and is used for secure access to a remote server. When you use SSH to connect to a remote server (i.e., another Linux computer), you create a shell session on that server through the terminal on your system. This text-based interface allows you to send any command remotely from your system to that server.
