Trouble Cloning Git remote repository

I am trying to set up a remote Git repository on my network server. I want to develop source on several desktops / laptops and want to have a central repository to sync everything and maintain version control. Seems like a good fit for Git, but I cannot get it to work and would appreciate advice on fixing the configuration or how to troubleshoot to identify the root cause. Please let me know what additional info you need to assist.

I have listed the machine configurations and the Git Bash lines from attempting the git clone.

Configuration: Local Machine (Host1) o Windows 10 - Git for Windows 2.7.1.2-64bit update o Git Repository = ~HOME/gitrepository Remote Machine (Host2) o Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS; Git version 2.7.2 o Git repository = /srv/centralrepo.git ;created with -bare -shared o Owner= user1; group= developer o Created ~/.bashrc to ensure PATH is set correctly with 'interactive non-login' session o After .bashrc runs there is a line from a bash script that causes a bash error: "bash: user1@Host2: command not found"

Clone to the remote repository always fails with:
  bash: user1@Host2: command not found
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.

All command line text shown here is executed from Local Machine(Host1) (from Windows Git Bash) My comments preceded with ## ## First cd into local repository and check status; user1@Host1 MINGW64 ~ $ cd $HOME/gitrepository user1@Host1 MINGW64 ~/gitrepository (master) $ git status On branch master nothing to commit, working directory clean

## Now try to clone remote repository on Host2 (added set -x to ~/.bashrc script) user1@Host1 MINGW64 ~/gitrepository (master) $ git clone -v ssh://user1@Host2/srv/centralrepo Cloning into 'centralrepo'...
