Authentication

Connect the terminal to your GitHub account using SSH keys.

Check if there are existing public SSH keys: ls -al ~/.ssh Public keys are one of following file format: id_dsa.pub, id_ecdsa.pub, id_ed25519.pub, id_rsa.pub
Generate a new SSH key and add it to the ssh-agent
Add the SSH key to your GitHub account
Check that it's working by running eg git pull origin master in one of the repos

Git Config

Update the content in the git config file to ensure that GitHub commits are being assigned to the right user.

Update the name - git config --global user.name "<Full Name>"
Update the email address - git config --global user.email "<email_address>"

Heroku Config

Set Heroku CLI credentials to enable connecting to the Heroku account through the terminal.

heroku login > Press any key to open the browser > Return to the terminal > Should see message Logged in as <email_address>
Run cat ~/.netrc to confirm that the login credentials have been added to that file
