  Try putting "git@" in front of the url like so:

  git clone git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git

  Sorry for this small mistake. I am already using the URL you mentioned. That one is not working. Running the clone command gives the following output:

  Initialized empty Git repository in /home/darxriggs/workspace/railscollab/.git/

  What?

  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

  fetch-pack from 'git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git' failed.

  What version of git are you using? It looks like your clone command is sending a request that we don't understand.

  I tried nearly everything but don't get it to work. My git version is 1.5.4.3.

  What I have encountered further is that the public cloning URL is working for me - see: git clone git://github.com/darxriggs/railscollab.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/darxriggs/workspace/railscollab/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 3641, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1058/1058), done. remote: Total 3641 (delta 2435), reused 3641 (delta 2435) Receiving objects: 100% (3641/3641), 867.55 KiB | 60 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (2435/2435), done.

  But my private clone URL (for the forked repository) does not work (I also tried with a 2nd repository) - see: Initialized empty Git repository in /home/darxriggs/workspace/railscollab/.git/ What? fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fetch-pack from 'git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git' failed.

  Just as additional information (even if "git clone" is not using these settings) - my .git/config contains the following entries: [core]

  repositoryformatversion = 0
  filemode = true
  bare = false
  logallrefupdates = true
  

  [remote "origin"]

  url = git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
  push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
  

  Maybe there is still something wrong the authentication? Maybe not because when I intentionally invalidate my public key on github and try to connect I get another error - see: git clone git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/darxriggs/workspace/railscollab/.git/ Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fetch-pack from 'git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git' failed.

  I have no idea what is wrong.

  I did another thing - invalidating the URL (user and repository). So instead of:

  git clone git@github.com:darxriggs/railscollab.git

  ...I did:

  git clone git@github.com:darxriggs/xxx.git

  or

  git clone git@github.com:xxx/railscollab.git

  ...and got exactly the same error:

  Initialized empty Git repository in .../home/darxriggs/workspace/railscollab/.git/ What? fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fetch-pack from 'git@github.com:xxx/railscollab.git' failed.

  If I do this:

  git clone git@github.com:xxx/railscollab.git

  I get

  Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/tom/dev/sandbox/railscollab/.git/ Repository not found. If you've just created it, please try again in a few seconds. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fetch-pack from 'git@github.com:xxx/railscollab.git' failed.

  Your client seems to be sending a request that we don't recognize and so it never even gets to that point. Can you try upgrading your version of git just to make sure?

  What OS are you on?

  My big apology. :-(

  I found out what the root of the problem. Long time ago I set the GIT_SSH environment variable for using a script of mine to get some other local git-repository working. So because of this git was not working properly with github.

  The problem just showed up when using the private URL because then SSH kicked in else I guess it was using normal git or http protocol

  You can therefore close this ticket.

  Thanks for your help Tom.

  Glad you got it figured out!
