Replace "YourGitHubName" with the name of your GitHub account and
"django" with the name of your project on GitHub.

This is hardly related to Django.

Read the introduction on GitHub:

Kind regards,

Hi Utpal,

This is because using SSH protocol (implicit in specifying the address as g...@github.com:YourGitHubName/django.git) require you to setup a key pair for your account. 
You could clone the repo using HTTPS protocol by using https://github.com/YourGitHubName/django.git and providing your credentials on the command line.
