title: Access Git repo via SSH tunnel
body: <p>I have access to an SSH account that can access a GIT server and am able to clone/push/pull the repo in this SSH login. However I cannot access this repo from elsewhere.</p>
  
  <p>On the SSH account I use,</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone git@gitserver:proj/myrepo.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to clone the repo.</p>
  
  <p>I tried setting up a ssh tunnel to the git server from another machine using,</p>
  
  <pre><code>ssh -L 3333:gitserver:22 userid@sshserver
  git clone ssh://localhost:3333/proj/repo.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I keep getting prompted for a password for the user 'git'. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?</p>
