Correct syntax for git ssh on windows?

I'm trying to follow the Git book guide on setting up Git on a server, but the guide and everywhere I've looked online assumes you're on Linux.. For testing purposes I'm trying to get this to work locally:

git clone myuser@localhost:users/myuser/stuff/thing.git

always comes back with:

Cloning into 'thing'...
fatal: ''users/myuser/stuff/thing.git'' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

I've tried various other ways such as:

git clone myuser@localhost:C:/users/myuser/stuff/thing.git

git clone myuser@localhost:stuff/thing.git

And pretty much every variation I can think of, to no success.

Also, if I try to ssh normally with

ssh myuser@localhost

It works completely fine! I've made sure that "myuser" owns the git repository folders as well, so I don't think it's a permission problem. Maybe something I have to configure on git's side as well?
