Hello World with Git

I was going through create a repo on GitHub, and these were a few link that I used:

https://help.github.com/articles/create-a-repo

Installing Git on Ubuntu 12:04:

Error from Gnome keyring:

Generating ssh keys for github:
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

Errors with ssh keys:

Also some notes:

make sure you register the public key with github!

For some reason it helped to remove the git repository and start over.
