How to recover deleted git repository of local matchine

I formatted my laptop and there was a remote Git repository that was deleted now. How do I get that same repository with same Git setup again with remote access? I was trying to clone my deleted repository with git clone ssh://<user>@<ip>/path/to/your/remote/repo – but it was showing Harshits-MacBook:~ harshitsingh$ ssh-copy-id root@ip /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/Users/harshitsingh/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys Permission denied (publickey). Harshits-MacBook:~ harshitsingh$ git clone ssh://root@ip/https://github.com/user/path Cloning into 'path'... Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Are you using github to host your project? I found your user on github but you have no public repositories. https://github.com/harshitsingh

Okay, since you know the repository exists, the issue must be with public key. Did you use the key provided by github? It should be in Github's upper right profile icon > Settings > SSH and GPG keys

When I want a project from github, I almost always go with the Clone with HTTPS option and then import the url, but sometimes you need to Clone with SSH. Here's a good video by Chris where he shows cloning with SSH: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/weather-app-in-need-of-tests

like this git clone ssh://root@139.59.74.230/https://github.com/Hsmith1947/upkarproject

The ssh would look like: git clone git@github.com:Hsmith1947/upkarproject.git

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I can't help, sorry ... there's good info here on Treehouse on using git with Java IDEs but the PHP ones don't look helpful
