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)
