    <p>GitHub have changed their recommendation several times (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140321204642/https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys" rel="noreferrer">example</a>).</p> <p>It appears that they currently recommend HTTPS because it is the easiest to set up on the widest range of networks and platforms, and by users who are new to all this.</p> <p>There is no inherent flaw in SSH (if there was they disable it) -- in the links below, you will see that they still provide details about SSH connections too:</p> <ol> <li><p>HTTPS is less likely to be blocked by a firewall.</p> <p><a href="https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/" rel="noreferrer">https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/</a></p> <blockquote> <p>The https:// clone URLs are available on all repositories, public and private. These URLs work everywhere--even if you are behind a firewall or proxy.</p> </blockquote></li> <li><p>An HTTPS connection allows <code>credential.helper</code> to cache your password.</p> <p><a href="https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git" rel="noreferrer">https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Good to know: The credential helper only works when you clone an HTTPS repo URL. If you use the SSH repo URL instead, SSH keys are used for authentication. While we do not recommend it, if you wish to use this method, check out this guide for help generating and using an SSH key.</p> </blockquote></li> </ol>

    1. COAh, so they recommend HTTPS simply so they don't have to document `ssh-agent`? Fair enough. Thanks!

    2. CO@sarnold It probably has more to do with the volume of questions related to ssh-agent and public key management, and the number of corporate firewalls that allow outbound HTTP/HTTPS but not SSH.

    3. COI think that https makes it easier for people to get started since you don't have to do the whole generate/copy/paste ssh key business. Also it could be viewed as more secure from Github's perspective since an attacker who got your ssh password (or found a computer terminal you left open) would still have to know your Github password to push anything.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
