'Could not find gem' error when specifying a forked version of a gem from Github

I'm trying to use a forked version of the ebay api gem (https://github.com/codyfauser/ebay/)

gem "ebayapi", :git => 'git://github.com/AutoRevo/ebay.git'

However when I run bundle install, I get the error.

Could not find gem 'ebayapi (>= 0) ruby' in git://github.com/AutoRevo/ebay.git (at master). Source does not contain any versions of 'ebayapi (>= 0) ruby'

The original gem works fine. (https://github.com/codyfauser/ebay)

What am I doing wrong?

Since there is no gemspec you can not point to it directly from github. You could clone the repo and build a local gem then use that. If for some reason you really want to point to github then you would need to build and then push the gemspec to the github repo.
