+Having a local git repo configured, I haven't yet set up ssh authentication. Instead I use HTTPS with a username and password. It can be tiresome typing in the login credentials over and over, so I typically cache the credentials with a reasonable timeout.
+
+```bash
+git config --global user.name "patrick"
+git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
+```
+
+I also make sure my .git/config contains the username so I don't need to type that in over and over.
+
+```conf
+https://<USERNAME>@github.com/path/to/repo.git
+```
