SSH is a secure protocol for accessing remote machines and applications. It provides authentication and encrypts data communication over insecure networks.

These topics describe how to find existing SSH keys or generate new ones, and add the public key to your Docker Hub account. GitHub has a good set of topics on Connecting to GitHub with SSH, which you can tailor to SSH scenarios beyond GitHub, including Docker. The quick-look topics below are derived from that GitHub documentation.

Commands for working with SSH keys are described for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The Windows steps suggest using Git Bash but you could also use a tool like PuTTY or Bitvise.
