It use Linux , where you use SSH (Secure shell) which let you opens an encrypted terminal session to a remote machine in our case GitHub.

- ssh - to create a remote login
- ssh-keygen -t <> -c <adress> - with the correct server_address
- ls -al ~/.shh- check if you have added the new sshkey
- ls - which is listing the files and  directories in the active directory
- cd - which opens a directory
- mkdir <name> - make a new directory
- touch file.text - to create an empty file
- nano file.text - write a comment or context of the data use in place or -echo-
{CREAT REPOSITORY ON GITHUB COPY SSH}
- git remote add origin <ssh_key> - link to the remote server
