 but you can also share or "push" your changes to other servers.
 Before you can push your changes to a GitLab server
 you need a secure communication channel for sharing information.
-GitLab uses Public-key or asymmetric cryptography
-which encrypts a communication channel by locking it with your "private key"
-and allows trusted parties to unlock it with your "public key".
-If someone does not have your public key they cannot access the unencrypted message.

+GitLab remote server without supplying your username or password each time.
