 Description   

Change the documentation to use https (instead of ssh) when creating a local clone of a github repository.

Cloning using ssh like
git clone git@github.com:folio-org/okapi
requires the ssh credentials of a github account. There was a bug report in folio's support channel yesterday:
{{Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.}}

This is a bug because there is no need for credentials when the user only wants to build and run the software locally but does not want to contribute for the time being.

Using https like
git clone https://github.com/folio-org/okapi.git
is possible without any credentials, but can also used for git push if credentials are available.
The github help page suggests cloning using https: https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/
