Cloning into 'Confiapp'...
edu243@server ip's password:
fatal: ''/G:/GitRepos/Confiapp.git'' does not appear to be a git repository

(A very wild guess)

Based on the single quotes, I can assume that it tries to search the path with quotes included, and obviously fails. It could be that the remote sshd server starts cmd instead of bash. And client sends single-auoted path which cmd does not understand.

You should make sure your sshd starts bash as a shell, or the restricted git-shell included with git. That should fix the error.

Check first if ssh -T edu243@server ip does work.
If it does, check if you have an interactive shell in which you can execute commands like

dir G:/GitRepos/Confiapp.git

That will make sure the remote folder does exist and is readable.
Make sure there is no typo (like Configapp.git instead of Confiapp.git)
