Answer A: What does this suspicious URL structure do?
It's not as complex as a clever URL trick: your would-be scammer is incompetent. Technically, this is a malformed URL and shouldn't parse at all. The relevant spec is RFC 3986 §3 &mdash; for this purpose, there must be a literal `://` between the scheme and authority (domain). However, entering th...

Answer A: What's the pattern for how on/off sliders work?
There's no set pattern for this, which is down to the fact that they're not a native control, unlike checkboxes. Each application is able to define and design its own sliders.

Try to upgrade your Git client version, th...

Your understanding of SSH in the general sense is correct, but for use with Git it's just a private key file kept on your local machine that you point Git to, and the public key is stored with GitHub.

Answer A: Can we ask hacking related question?
(My opinion, not as staff) I'd say that terminal software is on-topic here. You don't have to be a developer to use a terminal. Think of things like ffmpeg &mdash; not developer-oriented, just a generally useful package, but also pretty confusing for a new user. Questions about things like that seem ...
