In-Depth Information
The above command means that you are accessing a git account at the host git-
hub.com. SSH daemon working on github.com grants access to a git account only if the
key-based authentication succeeds—that happens if your public SSH key was con-
figured for your
git@github.com account
. If not, you will not be allowed access to any
of the resources. This hosting solution was explained in Recipes 11-5 and 11-10. The
web interface presented in
Figures 12-1
and
12-2
just simplifies the task of managing
your public SSH keys.

ory for a new project

Create a new repo
button. The button
Create a new repo
is on the menu displayed in the upper-right
corner of the Github webpage (see A in

). You will find the same button in
Figures 12-1
and

as well.
