title: git clone : no address associated with name
body: <p>I know there are many question asked about this but i found them not working in my case
  <br>As I'm not very known to git I'm facing a problem cloning a repo from openshift server.
  I have my ssh URL for my repo ( which is of the form ssh://some_text@my_site_url/~/git/my_app.git/ ), but when I'm trying to clone the repo using </p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone ssh://somt_text@my_site_url/~/git/my_app.git/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting this error message </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cloning into 'my_app'...<br><br>
    ssh: Could not resolve hostname my_site_url: no address associated with name
    <br>fatal: Could not read from remote repository.<br><br>
    Please make sure you have the correct access rights
    and the repository exists.</p>

  <p>I'm using git behind a proxy server of my college so I'm done setting the git proxy using</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global http.proxy httpProxy:port
  git config --global https.proxy httpProxy:port
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please suggest if i'm missing any step or doing something wrong.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> I am using OpenShift to host my project and trying to access that using using ssh on my local computer.</p>
