Not really a EQRM error, but it can catch people working on EQRM.
Here is the error;
XXX@rhe-compute1:/nas/mnh/georisk_models/earthquake/sandpits/duncan/dump$ git 
clone https://github.com/ga-rams/eqrm_test_simulations.git

[Cut and paste from an email from David]I think that this is a problem with 
https and the GA firewall rather than with git. You can get around this by 
using ssh to communicate with git. Follow the instructions at: 
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

Also note that when setting up your origin that you will need to use the shh 
address and not https (i.e. use git@github.com:ga-rams/WA_Impact.git and not 
https://github.com/ga-rams/WA_Impact.git). If you have already setup the origin 
using https you can change it as follows: 

git config remote.origin.url https://github.com/ga-rams/WA_Impact.git

Hope this helps

David

This works;
git clone git@github.com:ga-rams/eqrm_test_simulations.git
