Git repository is not cloning from remote server in PhpStorm-CodePudding

I have my site working on server. I installed PhpStorm, set up FTP and SSH with my remote server and it works fine:

I go to Git > Clone..., enter URL of repository
[email protected]:/loudcar.com.ua/www/.git
and enter FTP password.

But cloning is not working and I get an error "does not appear to be a git repository".

I expected repository cloned to my local server.

CodePudding user response：

Based on the image the URL must be either

[email protected]:loudcar.com.ua/www/

[email protected]:/home/a50watt/loudcar.com.ua/www/

CodePudding user response：

In your local directory where you want to clone your repository, open Git bash or command prompt.

Then run the below commands for creating local repository.

git init
git clone <Your Remote Repository URL>

After pressing enter, Git will ask for authentication on a new pop up screen. Enter your credentials.

If logged in successfully, your remote repository will be cloned on your current directory in which Git bash/cmd is running.
