Hello Kevin,

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git config --show-origin 
remote.origin.url
file:.git/config    https://github.com/grumpy-irc/grumpy

However git push is still accessing SSH version (which is blocked by FW 
in this place):

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git push -v
Pushing to git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy

I need to change it to HTTPS
