来自vps的git clone

Question

I'm having some trouble cloning my repository

$git clone ssh://root@8x.12x.9x.21x:/repo repo
Cloning into 'repo'...
fatal: '/repo' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

while i'm having no such trouble cloning on the vps itself. nor did i have trouble pushing to it from another computer.

$ ssh root@8x.12x.9x.21x

done.

Does anybody know what might be the problem?

Answer 1

Use

git clone ssh://root@8x.12x.9x.21x:/root/repo

You may omit the colon because you're using the standard port.

git clone ssh://root@8x.12x.9x.21x:/root/repo

For completeness, SSH clone URLs also work as in

git clone root@8x.12x.9x.21x:/root/repo

or with a relative path because it is in root's home directory.

git clone root@8x.12x.9x.21x:repo
