SSH Keys

Push/Pull with SSH key

You'll need to change the github URL you are using.

git clone https://github.com/<Username>/<Project>   # !!bad!!

git clone git@github.com:<Username>/<Project>       # good
git clone github.com:<username>/<project>           # also good (must specify user in ~/.ssh/config)

You can quickly test authentication

ssh git@github.com -i ~/.ssh/github

Workflows

Importing existing repo

See hosting a git http server to share with github.

You can then use that to import your project.

Download single file

curl -O wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/project/branch/filename

Find PR from commit

git log --merges --ancestry-path --oneline 9c34e5f6af..master \
    | grep 'pull request' \
    | tail -n1 \
    | awk '{print $5}' \
    | cut -c2- \
    | xargs gh pr view -w

alternatively

git describe --all --contains <commit>  # returns branch name
