Indeed you really ought to have cloned it in the first place using the
ssh://.../ format URL then our repo's origin URL would be in ssh format.
You can use command 'git remote' to reset your origin URL. Run

$ git remote --help

for details.

n.b. details of what remot repos are in use is actually stored in file
.git/config so if you are feeling brave you could just tweak that by
hand to replace

  https://github.com:/theRealAph/graal-core.git

with

  git at github.com:theRealAph/graal-core.git
