    Hi developius! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
    ```

    Change directory into the local clone of your repository (if you're not already there) and run:

    ```
    git remote set-url origin [email protected]:username/your-repository.git
    ```

    Now try editing a file (try the README) and then do:

    ```
    $ git commit -am "Update README.md"
    $ git push
    ```

    You should not be asked for a username or password. If it works, your SSH key is correctly configured.
