Struggling to make this work. If I just use ssh://bonnietwin(a)people.ipfire.org/ as above then I get the following message when I try a push.

fatal: '/' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I tried adding bonnietwin/ipfire-2.x.git/ to the end of the url but that gave the same error message.Basically just a guess on my part but it was wrong.
Looking at my user repository in a browser the url is completely different so I have no idea what I need to use for the url for my repository when accessing it via ssh.

I suspect that I have made more than the allowed errors as I now can't even connect any more and get the following message:-

ssh: connect to host people.ipfire.org port 22: Network is unreachable
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Not sure if this will be accessible again after some time or if I am permanently blocked and need it to be released.

Either way I need and would appreciate some guidance.

Regards,

Adolf.
