@Serhioromano,

Very old question, but I believe it may help others with same issue...

I believe you are trying to set your "origin" as SSL (based on the format of the link, which looks like is git@github.com:[useraccount]/[repositoryname].git). For you to use SSL you need to create a Secure Key, then install it in your system, so the "origin" will be able to recognize you when you try to use it.

Here more info: https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/

You can try to create the KEY and use SSL (strongly recommended) or you can use HTTPS instead. You can get the link of the HTTPS in the button "clone or download" at your repository main page. Simply chose "Use HTTPS".

I hope it helps.
