Need help cloning collaborative git repository - getting host is down error

Question

Trying to clone a git repo I've been asked to collaborate on and keep getting this error

ssh: connect to host heroku.com port 22: Host is down fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Any ideas? Really need to get this working! Thanks.

Answer 1

It can be a proxy issue, or it can be because you didn't add your ssh public key to the repo (as mentioned in "ssh: connect to host heroku.com port 22").
Depending on your ssh address, use the right ssh config for heroku.

Make sure your heroku repo address is the right one (see "Rails / Heroku: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly").
