I am trying to clone a repo from GitHub into a directory on my mac's terminal. I make sure that I am in the correct directory on my terminal, then I go to my repo on GitHub, press the green "clone" box in the upper right, select SSH key and copy the value, then use the command in my terminal: "$ git clone <(copied SSH value)>" and get the following error: "zsh: parse error near `/n'"

Why am I receiving this error and how do I fix it? I know that parse error means it is a syntax error, but I don't understand how I have a syntax error if all I did was copy a value. Is there something else that I'm missing? I followed all the right steps from my bootcamp work.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

My guess is that you did

git clone <(copied_SSH_value)>

please no < nor >

git clone copied_SSH_value

for example

git clone https://github.com/pimcore/demo.git
