I guess I could use my ssh url for pulling, as well. I simply figured it would be easier to add an ssh URL for push (like I was doing manually) and be done with it. But it doesn't seem there's a super simple solution (i.e., my syntax was wrong in the config file) to using git for pull and ssh for push.
