Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

In step 2. of the "Adding support for a new site" section of README.md, the suggested command line for cloning the newly forked repository fails with the current default configuration of github repositories:

git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/youtube-dl.git

I get the error:

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

One should clone the repo using https instead:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/youtube-dl.git

In the section "Adding support for a new site", it's assumed that people comes here for writing codes and open pull requests. To do that you need a working Github account. If you got permission denied, there's something wrong in your github account settings.
