If you clone to a directory where you have user permission ( /home/user/git) it will work fine.

Also you should set the SSH key ! – Achala Yasas Piyarathna May 02 '17 at 17:32
Tried this but still I am getting same error . I think it's related to authentication of public keys . Do you have any idea about it . Note- already saved SSH keys in profile – vinay May 02 '17 at 17:34

You can use HTTPS version for cloning. That will require you Git Credentials instead of using ssh keys.

git clone https://github.com/uvagfx/hipi.git

Checked almost every option posted here .. but what I found useful is backing up database from cpanel and files from file manager and then restoring it .
