 ### Usage
 
+## `git-clone-ssh`
+
+This task does `git clone` using SSH with the authentication described in [Git SSH Auth](./git-ssh-auth.md).
+
+This `Task` has two input parameters:
+
+1. `url` (**required**) is the url to the git repository
+2. `path` (optional) is the path on the workspace volume, `code` is default directory.
+
+See [example `Pipeline`](./git-ssh-auth.md#example-pipeline)

+# Git SSH Auth
+
+## Configuration of SSH with GitHub as example
+
+Prepare secrets for SSH authentication.
+
+### Prepare `known_hosts` file
+Example using github.com
+
+1. Create file with `known_hosts` (you may also want to verify this further)
+
+   ```
+   ssh-keyscan github.com > ssh_known_hosts
+   ```
+
+2. Create secret from file
+
+    ```
+    kubectl create secret generic github-known-hosts --from-file=ssh_known_hosts
+    ```
+   
+### Generate and distribute SSH key pair
+Generate a separate SSH key pair for Tekton
+
+1. Generate keypair to local file
+
+    ```
+    ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f id_rsa -q -N ""
+    ```
+
+2. Create a secret from the private key
+
+   ```
+   kubectl create secret generic github-private-key --from-file=id_rsa
+   ```
+   
+3. Upload the public key `id_rsa.pub` to GitHub
+
+   Start with copying the content of the public key with
+
+   ```
+   pbcopy < id_rsa.pub
+   ```
+   
+   And follow [Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account)
+
+
+## Example Pipeline
+
+```
+apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
+kind: Pipeline
+metadata:
+  name: pipeline-with-git-clone
+spec:
+  params:
+  - name: git-url
+    type: string
+    description: Url to git repo
+  tasks:
+  - name: git-clone
+    taskRef:
+      name: git-clone-ssh
+    params:
+    - name: url
+      value: "$(params.git-url)"
+    workspaces:
+    - name: output
+      workspace: ws
+  workspaces:
+  - name: ws
+```
+

+  taskRunSpecs:
+  - pipelineTaskName: git-clone         # name of task in the Pipeline
+    taskPodTemplate:
+      volumes:
+      - name: ssh-auth                  # name of volume - matching name in Task
+        projected:
+          defaultMode: 0400
+          sources:
+          - secret:
+              name: github-known-hosts  # name of Secret from Auth setup
+          - secret:
+              name: github-private-key  # name of Secret from Auth setup
