Connect personal GitHub account to Mjolnir

You can connect your personal GitHub account to Mjolnir, by generating an SSH key

What is an SSH key? In short, it's a secure way of authenticating your git commits. 

In GitHub's own words: 

"With SSH keys, you can connect to GitHub without supplying your username and personal access token at each visit. You can also use an SSH key to sign commits."

In general, follow the instructions on GitHub in this order: 

1. Create SSH key: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent?platform=linux
   
   
2. Add SSH key to GitHub account: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account?platform=linux
   
   
3. Test connection: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/testing-your-ssh-connection
   1. Troubleshooting: Read the printouts after every operation VERY CAREFULLY. If you find errors, please follow the instructions to solve the problem on the same page.
      
      
4. Configure your user + email associated with your GitHub account

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email you@example.com

If you don't do this, the commit author will default to your KU-ID, as seen in the picture below:

If you accidentally made a commit, no worries – this can be reversed. Configure your username and email, and immediately follow with this command: 

git commit --amend --reset-author
