.SH "PROTOCOL USED FOR CLONING"
.P
The \fB\fCgit:\fR protocol will be used for cloning public repositories, while the SSH
protocol will be used for private repositories and those that you have push
access to. Alternatively, hub can be configured to use HTTPS protocol for
everything. See "HTTPS instead of git protocol" and "HUB\_PROTOCOL" of hub(1).
