Need to clone a GIT repository into remote server

I Need to clone a GIT repository into remote server via SSH. I have tried doing this in the traditional way, using 

git clone git@github.xyz.com:username/repository.git

The above gave me 

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

1)Repo exists, I created the repo for test purpose 2)it's a public repo.

First, if it is a public repository, you should be able to clone it through https URL

git clone https://github.xyz.com/username/repository.git

Second, to know more about why your SSH URL fails, set GIT_SSH_COMMAND to ssh -v.
Then clone again, and check the error messages.

A ssh -Tv git@github.xyz.com should print your name. If not, as commented, you need to register your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub public SSH key to your profile on github.xyz.com.
