Why does git want SSH keys
Git is an open source distributed version control system that can handle any project efficiently and agilely, and is used to help manage Linux kernel development. It is very necessary to generate an ssh, which can establish a secure encrypted connection between the computer and the code server;
In other words, in fact, if you do not set the ssh public key, you must enter your account password every time you submit the code. If you don’t need a password, then everyone can push code to your code warehouse? After setting up the public key, when your machine communicates with github, github can identify you as a trusted user through the public key.
