git clone fails when uses ssh connection

I used the following command to clone a git repository

git clone ssh://[email protected]/project.git

I placed the key files id_rsa.pub and id_rsa in the folder ~/.ssh/ but I get the following error when trying to clone with a above git command.

ssh -v [email protected]

You can use ssh-copy-id to send your public key to the server.

You have to add your local key (found in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) on the server in /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys
