  Cloning the Ceph Source Code Repository
 =========================================
 
-To clone the source, you must install Git. See `Set Up Git`_ for details.
+You may clone a Ceph branch of the Ceph source code by going to `github Ceph
+Repository`_,  selecting a branch (``master`` by default), and clicking the
+**Download ZIP** button.
 
-.. _Set Up Git: ../git
+.. _github Ceph Repository: https://github.com/ceph/ceph
+
+
+To clone the entire git repository, install and configure ``git``.
+
+
+Install Git
+===========
+
+To install ``git``, execute::
+
+	sudo apt-get install git
+
+You must also have a ``github`` account. If you do not have a
+``github`` account, go to `github.com`_ and register.
+Follow the directions for setting up git at 
+`Set Up Git`_.
+
+.. _github.com: http://github.com
+.. _Set Up Git: http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git
+
+
+Add SSH Keys (Optional)
+=======================
+
+If you intend to commit code to Ceph or to clone using SSH
+(``git@github.com:ceph/ceph.git``), you must generate SSH keys for github. 
+
+.. tip:: If you only intend to clone the repository, you may 
+   use ``git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git`` 
+   without generating SSH keys.
+
+To generate SSH keys for ``github``, execute::
+
+	ssh-keygen
+
+Get the key to add to your ``github`` account (the following example
+assumes you used the default file path)::
+
+	cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub
+
+Copy the public key.
+
+Go to your your ``github`` account, click on "Account Settings" (i.e., the
+'tools' icon); then, click "SSH Keys" on the left side navbar.
+
+Click "Add SSH key" in the "SSH Keys" list, enter a name for the key, paste the
+key you generated, and press the "Add key" button.
