 ### SSH Keys
 Instead of having to authenticate with a password each time you connect to a remote machine, you can set up an SSH key to do automatic authentication.  [This tutorial](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys-on-ubuntu-1804) explains how to set this up in a variety of ways.
 
+You will need to add your SSH Key to your GitHub account. This will allow you to use your SSH key to authenticate with GitHub in order to clone repositories using the SSH method. [This page](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account) should walk you through the instructions on adding this to you account.

 A few of notes __before__ following the tutorial:
   * If your computer doesn't have ''ssh-copy-id'' installed, you will need to follow the instructions below that
   * Although it is less secure, it is nicer if you do not specify a passphrase for the key.  Presumably your computer is protected by password, which makes not having a passphrase less of an issue.
