The following keygen step is very important but not mentioned in the GitHub web sites ...

7. Generating SSH keys(Github needs it):

In the terminal type

   >ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "xxxx@yzmail.com"

and just press enter for the next 3 statements.

Now execute the following commands :

      ravi@Hackintosh:~$ cd .ssh
      ravi@Hackintosh:~/.ssh$ gedit id_rsa.pub 

The file will be opened in gedit just COPY all the contents and close it and paste the contents in temporary document for later use.( For more info :http://help.github.com/linux-key-setup/)
