I'll describe what worked for me.

First, I uploaded my ssh key to github.  Follow these instructions:

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/#step-4-add-your-ssh-key-to-your-account

You can start at step 4 as you already have a key (RSA preferred, but
DSA is accepted).

Next, go to your whimsy clone directory, and execute the following command:

  git remote set-url origin g...@github.com:apache/whimsy.git

(Note: instead of looking up this command every time, I do this by
editing .git/config directly which is safe to do).

You can verify that you have configured this correctly by issuing:

$ git remote -v
origin    g...@github.com:apache/whimsy.git (fetch)
origin    g...@github.com:apache/whimsy.git (push)

At this point, both "git pull" and "get push" should both work.
