The GitHub Remote page mentions the read/write addresses for a repo:

Make sure your clone address is like:

https://github.com/username/yourRepo.git

And that you have defined:

git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
git config --global user.email "your_email@youremail.com"

Should you use a git address (without ssh), you would also need:

git config --global github.user username
git config --global github.token 0123456789yourf0123456789token # no longer needed

(with your token coming from “Account Settings” > Click “Account Admin.”)

Update 2013: you still can generate a token (see "Creating an access token for command-line use"), but you would use it as a password for https url.

Actually, if you activate the 2FA (two-factor authentication) mechanism on GitHub, you will need a token for your https url (because your regular password would trigger the second-step verification).
See "Configure Git clients, like GitHub for Windows, to not ask for authentication"

See more at "Which remote URL should I use?".
