Git clone with SSH keys

This is the most secure way of connecting to git remotes. To enable this, you need an SSH key from your device. You can generate one using

ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/github

(you can change the name of the key by changing the file path). Then add the following to your ~/.ssh/config:

Host github.com
   IdentitiesOnly yes
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github
