I think you may want to use the Git read only URL. As an example, by repo "check_git.git" has three different URL's available from github:
g...@github.com:MarkEWaite/check_git.git (ssh / read + write) https://markewa...@github.com/MarkEWaite/check_git.git (https / read + write) git://github.com/MarkEWaite/check_git.git (read only) Try the read only URL as first preference. That avoids needing an ssh connection with the required key configuration.
