I think that after doing that you only need to change your repository’s remote url to use ssh instead of https. After that, you just push commit and pull the way you have been doing it.

You can see if you are using https by doing:

git remote -v in your repo. If the urls start with https, then you can change it to ssh.

from here:

Switching remote URLs from HTTPS to SSH

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Change the current working directory to your local project.
  3. List your existing remotes in order to get the name of the remote you want to change.
$ git remote -v
> origin  https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push)
  1. Change your remote’s URL from HTTPS to SSH with the git remote set-url command.
$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
  1. Verify that the remote URL has changed.
$ git remote -v
# Verify new remote URL
> origin  git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
> origin  git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push)
