title: Git Clone Failure
body: <p>I have a Linux-based Amazon AMI which houses a Git repository. I want to <code>git clone</code> that repository to my local OSX machine (which also has Git installed).</p>
  
  <p>The repository lives on the Amazon box at <code>/home/ec2-user/my_test_repo</code>. Inside of the <code>my_test_repo</code> directory is the <code>.git</code> directory.</p>
  
  <p>On my OSX machine I can successfully SSH to the machine hosting the repo as <code>ec2-user</code> and I can execute lots of bash commands. So, I know SSH works. However, the following command doesn't work when I execute it from my OSX machine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone ssh://ec2-user@ec2-54-81-229-189.compute-1.amazonaws.com/home/ec2-user/my_test_repo.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'my_test_repo'...
  Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?</p>
