Step 6: Reference GitHub repository using SSH instead of HTTPS

[emadbaqeri]

Due to the privacy update on GitHub, the normal sign-in with username and password feature has been deprecated. By following step six and adding HTTP remote as an upstream branch for deploying the app by gh-pages, the process is going to be terminated and you'll see an error from GitHub.

Hi @emadbaqeri, sorry I did not provide an update on this PR in several months.

I think there are pros and cons to using SSH vs HTTPS (e.g. SSH requires generating a key pair; HTTPS requires generating a personal access token; the SSH port is blocked by some corporate firewalls; the personal access token is specific to GitHub whereas an SSH key pair can be reused across servers).

The change I plan to make to the tutorial to address the underlying issue (i.e. the inability to push to the remote repo) is to refer the reader to GitHub's documentation about accessing remote repositories via HTTPS URLs (here) and SSH URLs (here). I will leave it to the reader to get himself/herself to the point of being able to push to remote repos.

Thanks again for bringing the issue to my attention. I would like to credit you for doing so. Are you OK with me adding your GitHub avatar to the Contributors section at the bottom of the README? This is optional (I will assume "no" unless I hear otherwise from you).
