Learning Node.js Development is a practical, project-based book that provides you with all you need to get started as a Node.js developer. Node is a ubiquitous technology on the modern web, and an essential part of any web developers' toolkit. If you are looking to create real-world Node applications, or you want to switch careers or launch a side project to generate some extra income, then you're in the right place.

Now in order to actually communicate between our machine and GitHub, we'll have to create something called an SSH key. SSH keys were designed to securely communicate between two computers. In this case, it will be our machine and the GitHub server.
