    I clone with SSH because it's easier. Also I encrypted my ssh key with a password so if anyone gets the key, they can't use it.

    @filthyranter yeah the setup isn't a big deal. My issue with using https was it caching my credentials though I could opt not to do that but I also don't want to enter my credentials every time. I don't believe it's encrypted either

    @cuervo Accessing via SSH is more secure than entering your credentials into an HTTPS request. You don't share your credentials, that's why.

    @illusion466 I saw that too and it made me curious about the difference between the two

    There is absolutely no contest.

    SSH should --be the only method--

    Your credentials are never transmitted, its easier to set up and faster.
