Here's a more wordy explanation:
I set up SSH (Secure SHell) keys for each machine out here, using the
Linux utility "ssh-keygen". (On Windows, PUTTY has a similar utility, I
think.) That creates 2 files: a public key file, and a private key that
works with it and that gets places in my .ssh folder in my user account
folder (on all platforms, that location is the same). The public key is
then added to the systems that I connect to. I set it up for both
remote login ("ssh-add" on Linux)) and for git usage (procedure
described below). Then, when I try to login or perform git operations,
there is a handshake that occurs, managed by the ssh service, to
validate the public key against my private key. If the validation
passes, I have the requested access.
Out here, I have my git server managed using a tool called gitolite.
When I need to add repo access to a new machine, all I need to do is add
the public key file to the correct folder in the gitolite repository,
and the magic happens. (There is a separate file where I specify access
rights on a repository by repository -- and potentially branch by branch
-- level.) I think the process is similar for raw ssh access to git --
add your public key to the appropriate folder -- but I haven't tried it
without the gitolite intermediary.

That's what I do out here as well -- haven't set it up for my account
on mesajade, though, because there is enough VPN hoop jumping that I
haven't bothered to try putting my keys there.

If you’re using a server you can log into with SSH, you can set up
a shared key. That’s how I do it – no passwords in sight!
You can do that with GitLab too.

If you use a client like SourceTree it will do that. For “bare”
command-line git, I’m not sure it’s possible.

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to make GIT remember your logon and password
info?
I looked around and coudnt figure it out.
Thanks,
Steve
