Using SSH Keys with GitHub

SSH is a method for secure login and file transfer.

If you go over to GitHub and click on the "Clone or Download" button on a repository, you'll see that it says "Clone with SSH. Use a password-protected SSH key."

You can think of this like a secret handshake that your computer has with GitHub. The benefit is that it's secure and you don't have to constantly enter your username and password.In this video, I show you how to generate an SSH Key and add it to GitHub.

Communicating Technical Solutions

Taking complex technical issues and breaking them down into a format that everyone can consume is an extremely important ability. Spending hours or days developing a fantastic solution that's completely off target puts everyone in a bad situation.

These methods were put to the test on Disney’s "The Mandalorian," of which over half was filmed indoors on a virtual set.
