SSH keys allow you to login without requiring you to type in your password this tutorial will teach you how to set them up

First we need to create the key
```
ssh-keygen -t rsa
```
Then we need to move it over to the machine that we want to be able to login too without the need for a password to do this run the following command
```
scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub OTHER-MACHINES-IP:.ssh/authorized_keys
```
You should now be able to ssh into that machine without needing a password
