+9. In your ubuntu terminal create an ssh-key by running `ssh-keygen`. I would just leave everything as the default including the password empty for this key.

+11. Add that key to github.
+12. In the Windows Terminal app setting set the default profile to be Ubuntu (you may need to close windows terminal and reopen it for Ubuntu to show up.)
