In the SSH (After Wifi Setup) section you should have generated your ssh key. If you have not go back and do it.
opkg install git
If you have a git account, put your ssh key into your account. Go to GitHub's SSH keys page.
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Copy and paste the out put into GitHub, do not make this public.
You can clone stuff with git via https, but I didn't want to do that for reasons.
With the Onion by default you'll get an unfriendly message if you try to ssh into github.
ssh [email protected]
ssh: Connection to [email protected]:22 exited: No auth methods could be used.
What does this mean? From what I've read it means it isn't using your generated ssh key to login, because OpenWRT uses dropbear's ssh instead of OpenSSH.
This section is largely derived from this answer on stackoverflow.
Normally you should be able to ssh into github as shown above, it won't give you a shell, but it will give you a friendly message.
You can ssh specifying your user's specific id_rsa key and get the friendly authentication message.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected]
Hi pjobson! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Get the ssh-git script from bin in this repo.
mkdir -p ~/bin
cd ~/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pjobson/onion_omega2p_experiments/master/bin/ssh-git

Edit your .profile.
vi ~/.profile
Add these exports, replace your info where relevant.
