git URL not a remote repo

Question

Hello all,

I am new to SourceTree for Windows so forgive me if this is has already been answered.

When I add the URL from Gitlab

(git@srvweldat02:tbeiganz/test_repo.git)

to the Repository and try to push I get the following error

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags --set-upstream origin master:master
Pushing to git@srvweldat02:tbeiganz/test_repo.git

fatal: 'tbeiganz/test_repo.git' does not appear to be a git repository

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

Completed with errors, see above.

Using the GIT Shell (Git Version 1.8.0-preview20121022) it works.

Also: Using the HTTP Url in SourceTree works.

Thanks for your help

Hmm, SourceTree just calls git so it shouldn't behave any differenly to the Git shell, unless it's something to do with using PuTTY instead of OpenSSH. The Git Shell usually defaults to OpenSSH (which is to say, it uses your key from %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\id_rsa etc). You can tell SourceTree to use that too if you'd prefer, you do this in Preferences > SSH Client.
