Change setup of origin to comply with github push requests

[elmar-hinz]

The current setting of origin in bin/dotfiles line 288 is:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/${github_user:-cowboy}/dotfiles.git $DOTFILES

Yesterday I ran into an issue with this. I could not push to github.com with the generated .git/config.

The suggested form for cloning is:

git clone [email protected]:cowboy/dotfiles.git

This should setup .git/config right.

Just want to announce. Will send a pull request once I got some routine with github.com, and dived into this a little deeper.

P.S.: Yes, I tried with my own fork of the repo.

This sounds useful. Send a PR and I'll merge it. Thanks!

Just for documentation. This is the error after installing with the current version.

fatal: remote error: 
  You can't push to git://github.com/elmar-hinz/dotfiles.git
  Use https://github.com/elmar-hinz/dotfiles.git

At least it makes a different suggestion than I did above.

The resulting .git/config

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true        
    ignorecase = true
    precomposeunicode = false
[remote "origin"]
    url = git://github.com/elmar-hinz/dotfiles.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[submodule "link/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim"]
    url = https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git

Following the suggestion of the error msg and setting HTTPS makes me enter me password:

url = https://github.com/elmar-hinz/dotfiles.git

Using the git protocol I can login without password prompt by using the ssh keys.

url = [email protected]:elmar-hinz/dotfiles.git

However the second solution requires that the user put his public key on github. But I think it also prompts for the password if the user didn't. So this should be the preferred solution I think.
