Can't clone the repo for this course

I'm trying to follow along but get the following when I try to clone the repo:

āžœ  public git clone git@github.com:treehouse/angular-basics.git .
Cloning into '.'...
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.252.131' to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Huston uses the SSH method of cloning a repository. This allows you to clone the repo without entering a username and password.

You could try cloning the repository using HTTPS instead which will ask you for your GitHub username and password.

git clone https://github.com/treehouse/angular-basics.git .
