Succesfully uploaded keys are listed under SSH Keys
The configuration is finished. You can verify this by cloning the arbitrary public re-
pository using SSH protocol. If the command:
$ git clone
git@github.com:jquery/jquery.git

hosted on Github.
How It Works
SSH protocol doesn't allow anonymous access. To use it you need an account on the
server. Github uses a single account named git for all users. That's why all clone com-
mands include git@github, as in:
$ git clone
git@github.com:jquery/jquery.git
