Simplify Your Git Workflow With Git SSH
Welcome back to another series of Git related article! Just kidding. But, perhaps I should really consider it. Anyway, here are my first two articles about Git: the commands that I often use and how to set up your repo.
In this one, I am writing about Git SSH
which is useful for cloning repositories. I decided to write this because I often forgot about it. And when I have to visit it again due to multiple reasons (typically changing of laptops), I need to redo it again except, my muscle memory was so used to cloning by using the URL and GitHub decided to “block” it by saying we are better off using SSH feature!
I can’t find the image about GitHub preventing me from using the URL to clone, on the internet. If I encounter it again, I will screenshot it and update it here
The issue gets more complicated when I decided to search for the How and GitHub documentation comes out but the instruction is not very clear! At least to me…
Yes, me being me, I just have to write this guide, for myself and for you that needs it. Regardless, using Git SSH
to clone is actually very convenient.
