    I have multiple virtual machines, not docker... and each one has a sebboh user, and each sebboh user has an ssh id with an associated public key.  I submit all those public keys to github, so any of my accounts on any of my machines can push or checkout code.  Sometimes I go into the github profile interface and delete old ones that haven't been used in a while.

    you can have more than one set of keys.  These tokens that jasonaowen mentioned might be a better solution, if you're doing something akin to getting an application to push to a repo...  But I don't know anything about the tokens.

    wrkrcoop: I don't know.  You shouldn't distribute an image like that, obviously...

    it's not just more secure, it's also easier.

    I think if you knew about ssh keys, you'd prefer to use them for github, instead of your password.

    using ssh key-based logins is really great, not just for talking to github, but all kinds of things.  Knowledge about how you can use keys with ssh is valuable.  I recommend learning all about it.

    wrkrcoop: I don't know if github supports this user:password mechanism... But your issue is before that.  Some special character in your password is being interpreted by bash as a special character, something to do with events.

    wrkrcoop: I push to github using ssh, and I have a public key that was generated on my workstation and then copied into my github profile, so when I do a git push etc, ssh checks my private key, sees it matches the public key I've stored, and lets me continue.

    There's a silly project that uses the github web interface, primarily, to collect user contributions.  There's a collection of funny phrases and users may submit more by using the github web interface to edit a json file.  But, the json file is too big, so it can't be edited.  We can split it up...  What is the max file size for editing a json document?

    just to be clear, I was unable to find a link to /compare, I had to manually edit the url.

    (To answer the question: should I grab this application from github, or use the version my distro has?)  ... Well, cheers.

    ok, if I attpend /compare to the main page of a repo.. and manually type in the tag name... then I can get what I was looking for.
