To configure the system so that you can do fabric (i.e. SSH) without password.

Raw

For this, on local machine do:

ssh-keygen and agree with all defaults (if you have no reasons do otherwise) cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy that key

On remote machine:

mkdir ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh
touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

Paste copied key into authorized_keys2

From now your remote machine “trusts” your local machine and allows logging it in without password. Handy.
