On the main NTPsec/ntpsec page, the "Code" button offers both "Clone with 
SSH" and "Clone with HTTPS" links.  You just have to choose the right one.

GitHub does something similar, except that it's a sticky mode setting that 
controls the behavior of a single copy item.

In either case, if you originally got it wrong, you can just get the 
desired URL from the website and use it to update your "git remote" 
settings.
