Change default remote?

[sdat2]

Hey, I was setting up a public repository on jasmin-sci3 today, but it wouldn't push to remote. It would just hang until it timed out.

The remote settings were initially:

(base) [sithom@sci3.jasmin.ac.uk MLBayesInfer]$ git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:sdat2/MLBayesInfer.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:sdat2/MLBayesInfer.git (push)

Using:

remote set-url origin https://github.com/sdat2/MLBayesInfer.git

I changed this to:

(base) [sithom@sci3.jasmin.ac.uk MLBayesInfer]$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/sdat2/MLBayesInfer.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/sdat2/MLBayesInfer.git (push)

It then it worked perfectly. Is there a reason to prefer the git@github.com: syntax? If not, it might be worth changing to https:.
