Git repo not found

Question

I am trying to clone a private repo and I know it should prompt me for username and password but I get this message when I run

git clone https://github.com/orgname/repo

The error is

fatal: repository not found

Is there a separate command to clone private repos?

Also, when I try to download the zip it cannot be extracted

what is even more perplexing is that I can download the master but not the branch — user3779089, Aug 12 '14 at 23:13

You must have at least read access team permissions.

i do have the read permissions since I can navigate to the source through github and view the files – user3779089 Aug 12 '14 at 23:20
