git doesn't like my repository and thinks it doesn't exist

So, I was working on some code, and decided to create a git server on my NAS device to keep my repositories.

So on my nas device I created a folder, and did a "bare" git init. No problem so far.

Then I added this server as a remote and did the initial push:

 git remote add origin ssh://jeroen@nas/volume1/homes/jeroen/git-repos/pymania.git
git push origin master
Counting objects: 68, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (53/53), done.
Writing objects: 100% (68/68), 40.97 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 68 (delta 15), reused 0 (delta 0)
To ssh://jeroen@nas/volume1/homes/jeroen/git-repos/pymania.git
 * [new branch]      master -> master

So far so good right? Nope, not really !

I created to try the clone this repository, and this is what I get:

git clone pymania ssh://jeroen@nas/volume1/homes/jeroen/git-repos/pymania.git
fatal: repository 'pymania' does not exist

Can someone please explain this me? I can see that the folder exists on the git server, My development machine can push to the server just fine, so why can't I just do a simple clone operation ?! The server-name is correct, the folder location is correct, my username and password are correct, so I don't see why git complains.

Yes your clone path is wrong. Change the direction of your parameters.

Its:

git clone sourpath destination

In your case:

git clone ssh://jeroen@nas/volume1/homes/jeroen/git-repos/pymania.git pymania/

If you leave the second parameter blank git create a folder with the repository name without the .git extension.
