can't clone github project to my server

Im trying to clone a project from git hub to my server and getting this error when trying to clone a project.

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

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

command: git clone [email protected]:user_name/project_name.git

I looked at the web and says that I need to generate public key and insert it to my project sorry do you know tutorials on how to do that.

The github help pages tell you all about :

  • generating a pair of SSH keys
  • adding your public key to your github account

Right there : https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys Have fun !

SSH key pairs are a very important authentication mechanism, you should definitely check it out at some point. :)
