configs: use SSH to access private Github repos #50

Closed drbild closed 5 years ago

drbild commented 5 years ago

Using HTTPS to access private repos requires the user to type in a username and password each time the repo is downloaded. This is quite annoying. Using SSH authentication instead allows the local ssh-agent to transparently manage the authentication credentials.

I remember having an issue doing that early on, maybe I forgot the ssh://. If this downloads correctly it looks good to me.

It downloads for me. Probably was a missing ssh:// when you tried.

I'm going to merge, so we can get our other branches rebased on this. Let me know if you run into problems.
