 In this section, we will walk through the process of generating SSH keys and adding a public key to your Pantheon dashboard. First, you will generate a pair of keys on your local development machine.

 You should load your public SSH key into your account to take full advantage of Pantheon. SSH keys are a best practice for authentication, allowing you more security than a simple password.
