Ssh – Local SSH connection to Gitlab not working

gitgitlablocalhostssh

I'd like to be able to clone, push and pull (via SSH) on my Gitlab-Server from/to itself.

Currently, when try to clone a git repository locally from my server I get this:

jacob@server: git clone git@git.example.com:project.git
fatal: 'project.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

When I try to connect via ssh, I get a normal shell:

jacob@server: ssh git@git.example.com:
git@server:~$

Replacing git.example.com with localhost, 127.0.0.1 or the local IP yields the same results.

Cloning/… from another PC works flawlessly. When I connect via SSH from an other PC, it shows:

jacob@mypc: ssh git@git.example.com:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Welcome to GitLab, jacob!
Connection to git.example.com closed.

It looks as though the problem evident in your SSH shell-getting test is unrelated (the server likely just ran out of PTYs). You shouldn't need a terminal to be allocated to use git.

It's necessary that project.git be a git repository located in the home directory of the user git. Also check that there isn't a folder project.git in your current working directory.
