cloning a github repo

Steps needed to download my repo from github to a new computer:

• install git
• generate SSH key
  ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@youremail.com"
• add public key to github keys associated with my identity
• have ssh-agent forget identies
  ssh-add -d 
• now reread new ones
  ssh-add
• verify ssh setup is working (see http://help.github.com/ssh-issues/)
  ssh -vT git@github.com
• clone repo
  git clone git://github.com/maciekk/emacs.git

Note that did not have to do a "git init" or "git remote add".
