If you're trying to do this and you're getting asked for a password, then you're using the wrong clone URL; try this instead: git://github.com/USERNAME/PROJECTNAME Where USERNAME and PROJECTNAME are replaced with the names of the projects you want to clone. Using the read-write URL will get you rejected unless you a) have your ssh keys set up exactly right, and b) have forked a copy of the project in question into your own account. Those steps are not necessary to get started; you can move on from there. Despite other people's comments suggesting otherwise, TortoiseGit actually works fine. I suspect you're just using the wrong clone URL, and getting presented with rather unhelpful error messages about it.
