Thanks for your help. Actually now I tried doing this git clone ssh://user@host/~/GPUProject/Histogram but getting bash: git-upload-pack: command not found fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly I tried several ways of specifying the path of the URL assuming that this could be a path issue but every time it gives the same error.
