The fix is not mine, I have opened a ticket, the author has written a fix and I just wanted to clone to check if the fix has fixed the issue. Thanks for the link, though, I'll make sure to check it out. --- Felix Uhl ________________________________ Von: Adam Wulkiewiczmailto:adam.wulkiewicz@gmail.com Gesendet: 14.11.2014 14:48 An: boost@lists.boost.orgmailto:boost@lists.boost.org Betreff: Re: [boost] How do I authenticate myself?

It seems like this information should be easy
to find on the boost webpage or wiki, but neither
of both explain how to authenticate myself
when using “git clone --recursive git@
github.com:boostorg/boost.git modular-boost >clone.log”.
The output of this is “Permission denied (publickey)”,
which seems to mean to me that I need a
ssh key the server actually knows about or that I have
to upload my public key somehow.
Have I just missed something on the wiki? As Boost is hosted on GitHub, all the options it offers also work with Boost. See here:
https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/
Note that you can have anonymous read-only access if you change the URL a little:
git://github.com/boostorg/boost.git
That should probably be mentioned in the docs.
FYI, instead of preparing a patch and attaching it to a bug report you could consider working directly on the development version of a library and propose a pull request with the fix on GitHub. Here is a tutorial showing how this could be done: https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/wiki/Contribution-Tutorial It was made for Geometry but the procedure looks the same for any other library.
