I have a question regarding Git and GitHub.

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 76 views

When using GitHub, use programs such as terminals and msysGit, whether Macintosh or Windows. During the first setup process, there is a process of generating a key using SSH Keygen and registering the generated public key on the GitHub site, so I wonder why this process is necessary.

I wonder if I'm simply authenticating my computer, or if I need to authenticate my account, or if I'm doing this because there's a security aspect.

git github ssh

As you said, we authenticate the computer.

You can also use the ID/Password method. Then it would be too much trouble because you have to enter Id/Password every time you access Github (Push/Pull, etc.). So we just register the ssh key and let the device access Github without ID/password input.
