Last I remember, using https instead of ssh meant I had to input my UN/PW 
every time I did a push or a pull (or maybe it gave me 5 minutes when I 
didn't have to do it). I always felt that was clunky and after having done 
that for a week, I got sick and tired of it and Googled how to store that 
and got to the ssh approach. I figured most other people who make regular 
contributions would enjoy that convenience as well.

I am curious why you use https instead of ssh. Can you explain a bit?
