-##### Prefer the git protocol over others when specifying dependency URLs
-> When specifying dependencies in erlang.mk Makefils or rebar.config, prefer using the git protocol to download the dependency repository.
+##### Prefer the https protocol over others when specifying dependency URLs
+> When specifying dependencies in erlang.mk Makefiles or rebar.config, prefer using the https protocol to download the dependency repository.
 
 *Examples*: [makefile example](src/dependency_protocol/dep_protocol.makefile) [rebar example](src/dependency_protocol/dep_protocol.config)
 
-*Reasoning*: SSH requires authentication.
-https may require authentication (bitbucket does, github doesn't), but sometimes doesn't.
-In addition, https is chatty compared to the git protocol, optimized for cloning repos.
-The git protocol's main disadvantage is that it doesn't support authentication, which is a plus for CI systems.
+*Reasoning*: HTTPS is recommended by GitHub and is easier for CI.
