Switch Between Local Git Repository and SSH connection in git bash

Sup guys, I can't seem to remember how to switch between tabs in my git bash. I'm using windows 8. I know that there is a command to put the current connection in the background, and then a command to bring it back. I want to be able to quickly switch back and forth between remote and local repositories.

I tried to search for the answer on SO with multiple keywords, couldn't find it. I first learned how to do this from a SO post, just cant remember :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!

The ssh command uses ~ as an escape character; if that is the first character on the line, the input is sent to the ssh process itself, rather than to the remote command. For example, ~^Z (tilde, control-Z) will suspend the ssh process, which you can resume with the fg command. See the section under "Escape Characters" in the ssh man page for more details.
