Useful thread and I don't bring much new to the table. The step I took is also part of the description Maxime helpfully points to but some may overlook it. The section is Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent.

I had already generated my ssh-key but after a reboot I was unable to clone one of my own repositories.

I had to start the ssh-agent and add the private key to this agent in order to clone.

eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
