- Remove the Table of Contents section to simplify documentation.
- Add and reorganize introduction sections for a clearer project overview.
- Rename and clarify section titles for improved structure and navigation.
- Consolidate and expand explanatory text around SSH key setup, OpenSSH compatibility, security, and troubleshooting.
- Provide richer descriptions for core concepts and advanced SSH usage scenarios.
- Apply the same documentation improvements and structural changes across English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese readme files for consistency.

## 🔑 Setting Up SSH Keys
## 🔑 SSH Key Setup & OpenSSH Compatibility
### Setting Up SSH Keys
It is best practice to create SSH keys on your local machine (not on a remote server). Log in with the username specified in GitHub Secrets and generate a key pair:
### Generate RSA key
#### Generate RSA key
```bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
```
### Generate ED25519 key
#### Generate ED25519 key
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 200 -C "your_email@example.com"
