One thing that confused me about the ssh URL listed in the instructions is that it had the username as "git@github.com" -- how am I supposed to authenticate myself as user 'git'?
The way Github (and bitbucket, and others) identify people is via the public key you have registered on your account.
Then wouldn't it be "legalize@github.com" and not "git@github.com"? When I copy/pasted the command given at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost I always get this error:
git clone --recursive git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git modular-boost Cloning into 'modular-boost'... Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. I don't know how else to interpret this except that I am not able to authenticate as user 'git' -- and why would I? I don't have the private/public key for user git. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!
