Re-installing Git on Mac OSX with Brew

Passwordless SSH logins with private key authentication

###Passwordless SSH logins with private key authentication

  1. On local machine, create your ssh key files

    Run ssh-keygen -t rsa as your local user, and allow all defaults and no password. This will create your private key associated with your computer and a public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) file to be shared later.

  2. Login to remote server and make sure RSA Authentication and Public Key Authentication is on

$ ssh user@remotehost
