I’m trying to set up my computer to be using my github account, here’s what I’ve got:

In my locally where the project is kept: 

 $ git remote -v 
 origin ssh://git@github.com/djleprechaunz/OscProject.git (fetch)
 origin ssh://git@github.com/djleprechaunz/OscProject.git (push)

and

ssh-add -l
2048 [key1] dave@mycomputername (RSA)
2048 [key2] myemail@gmail.com (RSA)

(Sorry, not sure about the security of posting the whole key up).

When I try 

git fetch

it pops up with a dialog ‘An application wants access to the private key ‘myemail@gmail.com’, but it is locked’

What should I be doing here? I tried putting in my github password, but that doesn’t work.
