SSH vs. SSL:
-------------------------------
By default, SSH is the recommended method for secure git actions on OpenVT (see [getting started](https://virtual.openvt.eu/platform_manual_and_guidelines/manual_and_guidelines/wikis/Getting-started-with-Git) section for how to operate SSH in Linux and Windows).
If you would like to use SSL via https instead, you might encounter problems with an SSL certificate error. Please, see here for a workaround to temporarily fix this problem:
