fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Cloning via HTTPS works.

I guess we naively assumed that developers will have their public keys set up with github - but we stand corrected! :)

You're right, https:// is a fine alternative. That protocol used to be much less efficient than SSH, and has the downside of requiring username/password authentication (for private repos or if you want to push as a collaborator). However, IIRC, there's a new active https:// git protocol that does basically what the git:// (i.e. ssh) protocol does (with all of the efficiency benefits) - and obviously wanting to push changes is not a problem for users in general.

Do you think we should change it in the readme?

I have 10 SSH keys on github, but not for this machine... I thought that they are needed only for private repo access. I should've read the message more carefully, I guess. HTTPS seems like a safe default, most people want things just work. =)
