What does this MR do?
Provides troubleshooting steps and workaround-proposals for "Corrupted MAC on input" errors when utilizing Git over SSH.

Optional. Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course. 
- 
Follow the: 
- 
If you're adding a new page, add the product availability details under the H1 topic title. 
- 
If you are a GitLab team member, request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
 
If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
- ~"frontend"
- ~"backend"
- ~"type::bug"
- ~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Reviewer's checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.
- 
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. 
- Technical writer review items:
- 
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. 
- 
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. 
- 
Ensure a release milestone is set. 
- If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
- 
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue.
- 
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something likeConfigure GDK.
- 
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. 
- If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
