Funny, I was just trying to use Git for Windows the other day, and was completely unsuccessful without authentication, even just to pull a public repo.

Shit's fucked y'all.

You have to pull via HTTPS. SSH checkout is meant for project contributors, which is why IIRC it requires authentication even to pull the code.

Honestly, nothing really. I just thought it was funny. Imagine needing keys to simply check out the public gardens.
