+Basics on SSH
+=============
+Generate our key on the local machine:
+
+* ssh-keygen [params for algo] ~/.ssh/name-of-key
+
+Use the key:
+
+* ssh-agent $SHELL
+* ssh-add
+* ssh-add -L (to list used keys)
+
+Add our pubkey to the remote machine:
+
+* ssh-copy-id -i USERNAME@HOSTNAME (if using key)
+* ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/name-of-key USERNAME@HOSTNAME (if not)
+* ssh USERNAME@HOSTNAME (to test that password isn't asked)
+
+*If it fails, make sure to chmod +755 ~/.ssh and authorized\_keys on the remote machine.*
