#git

If you've ever wanted to load up your local database IDE to view a database that sits inside an internal VPC. You may be a bit puzzled on how to do it considering most tools like DBeaver, DataGrip, TablePlus allow you to connect via SSH, but that SSH connection is always to a bastion instance. How does one connect directly?

This is a quick guide to set up git with SSH ed25519 keys not only for authenticating with GitHub or GitLab but also for signing commits without the need to install GPG/PGP which has some serious criticisms / flaws that has led me to move into a world without it. The new world isn't as straightforward as the old so I thought I'd just throw together a quick guide to help you out.
