The one-liner on the package landing page describing how to check out
a package from the git repo uses HTTPS rather than ssh, e.g.:

Using SSH will only work when they have a public key on the git server

Take for example packages which are not maintained on both the bioconductor
server and Github. For these packages, a good way for
