Clone Command Fails

[voipengineer]

Hi,
When using "git clone git@github.com:coolaj86/golang-https-example.git" as instructed, an error is returned:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Any hints? Thanks!

You need to add your ssh key to your github account.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If you don't have an ssh key yet, do this first:

ssh-keygen

It will ask a number of questions, but you should just keep hitting enter to accept the defaults (except perhaps the passphrase, if you can set it to something you'll remember).

If you're on Windows you can try git clone https://github.com/coolaj86/golang-https-example.git instead because, unlike a normal operating system, it doesn't have any security or developer tools installed and I don't know how to fix that other than to say "buy a mac or install linux".

Thank you!
