 ⇒ For development work, you need to access Magento Cloud Project. The project owner gives you access to the company's or individual Magento Commerce Cloud Account to connect to local. That will allow you to all source code and deployment environments.

⇒ Once you receive an email, then verify it. After verification, you can select your project to work on. And that will open the master branch to work.

– Enter Key name

→ Git Configuration:

– git config --global user.name "<Your name>"

– git config --global user.email <Your GitHub Account email id>

⇒ Add SSH to GitHub Account:
