Sign in to a Windows machine over ssh with the keys already on your GitHub profile.
Run this in PowerShell on the Windows machine:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thehale/windows-ssh-setup/main/windows-ssh-setup.ps1)))It asks for your GitHub username, and for administrator approval when it needs it.
- The OpenSSH Server that ships with Windows, switched on to start with Windows. It accepts your GitHub keys, never passwords, and only from your local network.
- Sessions that open in Git Bash, so commands run as they would on a Mac or Linux machine.
Run it again after adding or revoking a key on GitHub, and the machine follows.

I believe that an open-source software license should ensure that code can be used everywhere.
Strict copyleft licenses, like the GPL family of licenses, fail to fulfill that vision because they only permit code to be used in other GPL-licensed projects. Permissive licenses, like the MIT and Apache licenses, allow code to be used everywhere but fail to prevent proprietary or GPL-licensed projects from limiting access to any improvements they make.
In contrast, the MPL-2.0 license allows code to be used in any software project, while ensuring that any improvements remain available for everyone.
