On: Why aren’t we using SSH for everything?

[deckar01]

I added SSH authentication to the roadmap for the API in one of my projects. I love the UX of the first connection from a new users acting as registration.

When I looked for information on how git SSH servers are implemented I did not find enough information to get started.

Can anyone recommended reading for someone getting started with an API over SSH?

I looked at it a while ago using OpenSSH's AuthorizedKeysCommand feature and found Phabricator's implementation for vcs over SSH to be the most understandable thing I could find.
