Hi everyone,
I'm a new user of git/github/egit.
I've had the chance of cloning projects from github before, but now I've forked a project to my own repository and I want to work on it in eclipse.
Unfortunately, I've been having a hard time configuring egit, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

General info:
- Eclipse 3.6.1
- Egit version - latest nightly (have tried with latest stable as well)
- OS: Fedora 13


What I've done so far successfully:
- Created a remote repository pointing to the github repository using https, and managed to fetch everything.
- Create a private and public keys from cli, uploaded the public key to github, and did the ssh test successfully, plus managed to fetch from cli.
- Create a private and public keys from eclipse, uploaded the public key to github, did the cli experiments, all work well.
(*) all generated keys uses a pass phrase.


What I've tried doing, with no luck:
- When configuring the remote repository using https, pushing doesn't work.
- When configuring the remote repository using ssh, fetching and pushing doesn't work. I get 'Auth error', and it doesn't even ask me for the pass phrase (as it should according to various tutorials on the web).

What the tutorials say and I can't do:
- Many tutorials on the web state that the protocol to be used should be git+ssh. Even egit's official user guide says to use it. Unfortunately, the latest stable build and the latest nightly don't have that option anymore.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to move forward. I've been tinkering with it for about two days, with not much luck so far.

Thanks,
Ron
