  <p>None of them gives answer to my problem, though.</p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin&gt;git --version
  git version 1.7.7.1.msysgit.0
  
  c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin&gt;ssh git@github.com
  Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/Piotr/.ssh/id_rsa':
  Hi piotr-dobrogost! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
  Connection to github.com closed.
  
  c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin&gt;git clone ssh://git@github.com:piotr-dobrogost/requests.git
  Cloning into requests...
  ssh: github.com:piotr-dobrogost: no address associated with name
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I guess the problem is caused by git passing <code>github.com:piotr-dobrogost</code> as the hostname to ssh instead just <code>github.com</code> only. Why does git do this and what's the solution?</p>
