==== Git Setup ====
see our page about [[kb:bestpractices:scc:fork|Fork Setup]] and [[kb:scc:git:ssh|SSH Setup]]. When working on multiple (virtual) machines, the easiest way is, to maintain only one pair of ssh-keys. Keep the default name and store them in a central, but safe place and distribute it to all machines and SCCM providers.
