 ## Pushing to a Repository
 
-For
+For the security and ease of use, I suggest using `ssh` to push changes. This
+guide will assume a UNIX-based operating environment (e.g. MacOS, Linux).
+First, generate an ssh key pair.
+
+```
+$ ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/git.signorovitch.org
+```
+
+You don't need to set a password (just hit enter). This will create the files
+`~/.ssh/git.signorovitch.org` and `~/.ssh/git.signorovitch.org.pub`, being your
+private and public keys respectively. Using the Gitea web interface, click on
+your profile in the top right corner. Go to Settings → SSH/GPG Keys → Manage
+SSH Keys. Click 'Add Key' and paste your *public* key into the text box. You
+should now be able to commit changes via ssh.
