Unable to add Git repository hosted on OS X Server

I created a repository on OS X Server called myTestRepo. For HTTPS Access, I am allowing logged in users to read and write.

When I try to add this repository in Xcode, I get an error. In repository address, if I enter 

ssh://iMac/git/myTestRepo.git

I get the following error

Could not read from remote repository.

If I enter

https://iMac/git/myTestRepo.git

I get the following error

fatal: unable to access 'https://iMac/git/myTestRepo.git/': Could not resolve host:iMac

What am I doing wrong?

This could be a DNS problem in your local network:

Try substituting "iMac" with the IP adress of the computer hosting the repo:

ifconfig |grep inet

(in Terminal) will print out your local IP (e.g. 192.168.18.15).

If this doesn't help try pinging the IP / Computername (iMac) to see if you are able to connect to the computer:

ping iMac
ping 192.168.18.15

I also found a good tutorial on how to setup git Mac OSX Server. http://www.tomdalling.com/blog/software-processes/how-to-set-up-a-secure-git-server-at-home-osx/

Pay attention to the port forwarding section, did you forward ports correctly?
