ssh git-pull fails

ssh git-pull fails

[kenet3]

Hi everyone,

Can anybody please help me with this problem?

I have trouble pulling from an external Git repository through ssh.

Here is the command I use:
$ git-pull ssh://myusername@external.host:/path/to/git/dir

This error comes up:
ssh: external.host:: Name or service not known
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've set core.sharedRepository to true in another.host's Git repository.
Also, umask is set to 27.

If I can manually ssh to external.host with no problem.

Please bear with me as I'm new with this.

Thanks,
Kenneth

try:
$ git pull ssh://myusername@external.host/path/to/git/dir
(note the lack of colon after the hostname)
