This is one of gits best features . SSH deploys with offline remote version tracking

  GitHub having a connection of ssh public keys is another feature that's really neat. You can give someone access to your server without having to give them a password somehow.

    Exactly. And it’s great to move code around without having to add keys to GitHub/gitlab. Wherever you have ssh access you can push refs , build and deploy. Great for embedded systems where you may have dozens and you don’t want to add keys to GitHub for each one.

    Another nice little "hidden" thing is that you can get people's public keys from just a GitHub username, and be kind of sure it is keys in active use, by doing http://github.com/$username.keys http://github.com/$username.keys. Adding access to a new user? `curl https://github.com/embedding-shapes.keys https://github.com/embedding-shapes.keys >> /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys`

      That is what I was saying. Thank you for giving the instructions I didn't have the time to write out!
