Mapping Ctrl, CapsLock Tap to Esc

Now you can vi just as Bill Joy intended!  Here's an article that makes tapping the control key send an Esc.

Setting up ssh for github

On Mac and Linux, set up an ssh key in the usual way:

    ssh-keygen
    cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Copy that into the github ssh keylist.

Linux:  start the ssh agent.  This will be good for the duration of the session.

    exec ssh-agent bash
    ssh-add

Mac: add the ssh key to the keychain. This only needs to be done once.

    ssh-add

To test your connection to github.

    ssh -T git@github.com
