rebar3 git cloning fails during compilation

[fburic]

I'm having trouble fetching dependencies during the initial rebar3 compilation. The immediate cause is git not being able to clone with ssh. While I ssh-add my GitHub key in the current shell, rebar3 still fails to clone (see error below). I'm not familiar with rebar3, but it could be due to the way it runs commands (i.e. spawning a shell that doesn't have the key added).

While this is something the user could fix on their end (better ssh-agent setup), it might be more robust and/or user friendly to use https cloning instead / as a fallback, if possible (not sure how the CI is set up etc.) For now, I'm replacing git:// with https:// in the .config files but this is a recursive task :)

$ rebar3 escriptize 
===> Verifying dependencies...
===> Fetching cf_client (from {git,"git://github.com/joergen7/cf_client.git",
{branch,"master"}})
===> Failed to fetch and copy dep: {git,"git://github.com/joergen7/cf_client.git",
{branch,"master"}}
