When Broadcom moved the free Bitnami catalog to a legacy tier, thousands of teams lost their supply of maintained, hardened container images overnight. QuenchWorks is my answer: over 150 container images and 120 Helm charts, rebuilt from source on Wolfi, scanned to zero fixable CVEs, cosign-signed, and pinned by digest. Here is why I built it and how it actually works.

Setting up Node JS, Express, MongoDB, Prettier, ESLint and Husky Application with Babel and authentication as an example.

By default Git connects to remotes over HTTPS, so it asks for your login and password every time you run a command like git pull or git push. The SSH protocol is the alternative. It lets you connect to a server and authenticate to use its services. GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket all let Git connect through SSH rather than HTTPS. Public-key encryption then removes the need to type a login and password for each Git command.

Git talks to remotes over HTTPS by default, so it asks for your username and password on every git pull or git push. GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket all let Git authenticate over SSH with a public key instead. Here is how to generate a key on Windows, add it to each service, and stop typing credentials for every Git command.
