Hi Conrad, I did use the syntax you suggested. Below is the error. Thanks.
~$ git clone /var/gitosis/repositories/vincentProject.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/master/vincentProject /.git/ fatal: failed to open /var/gitosis/repositories/vincentProject.git/ objects I think that’s because the repo belongs to the git user under gitosis. But I did add my SSH key to keydir folder and add myself to the members list for this project. I don’t know why git still prevents me from cloning. That’s why I had to use: git clone g...@localhost:vincentProject.git clonedProject. This works. The only drawback with this method is that it asks me for my passphrase for my SSH key every time. Thanks. Vincent.

This is fine. But is there a better way? One other problem: whenever I do a git pull, git asks me for my passphrase for my key. Is there anyway for me to avoid this? I use another account on a remote computer to do the pull and it works without asking me for the passphrase of that account. Thanks.
