Yes, I use SSH for all repos now.

As well as GidHub for several public repos, I have used BitBucket for
several private repositories, as they allowed several, while GitHub
only allowed one. They also have a large number of add on features
around the Git repositories, aimed at lock-in.

Does anyone have online Git servers they use and can recommend? BTW, I
have done Google searches, etc. I'm looking for enthusiastic personal
endorsements.
