DO server's public key to Github?

[evanbates]

Nice (and quite successful) tutorial. The only thing I needed to do not in the list was add the new server's public key to Github before pulling the app's repo down (maybe there is a way to avoid this though)...

Hey, @evanbates — I think this may be due to the URL used to clone, because you shouldn't need to add an SSH key to clone.

On a public repo, it ought to work key-free. Did you use the git@github.com URL? Or the https://github.com/ form?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I used the clone dropdown on the Github website which gives git@github.com. So it looks like that's SSH vs. your HTTP-protocol instructions. I guess that explains it, next time I'll have to follow directions!

Haha, no worries — I never remember which is which, so I typically try one, then try the other if it complains. :)
