Good day,

I noticed the README.md file uses an SSH URL for cloning the repository, which requires SSH key authentication and fails for users without configured SSH keys.

This fix changes the git clone command from:

git clone git@github.com:microsoft/markitdown.git

to:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown.git

This makes the installation instructions work for all users, regardless of SSH key configuration.

Thank you for your work on this project. I hope this small fix is helpful. Please let me know if there's anything to adjust.

Warmly,
RoomWithOutRoof

SSH key authentication and fails for users without configured SSH keys.
Changed to HTTPS URL (https://github.com/...) for better compatibility.
