What is the purpose of using "SSH keys" for authenticating with GitHub instead of HTTPS with a password?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) SSH keys provide a secure, password-less authentication method using a public/private key pair, where the public key is registered with GitHub and the private key on your machine proves your identity for git operations like push and pull
Correct Answer
SSH keys provide a secure, password-less authentication method using a public/private key pair, where the public key is registered with GitHub and the private key on your machine proves your identity for git operations like push and pull
Once an SSH key is added to your GitHub account and the remote URL uses the "git@github.com:..." SSH format, Git operations authenticate automatically using the key pair without repeatedly prompting for credentials.
