Make sure that the path in the git clone call is correct. If you have an authorization error, have an administrator check the ACLs in Administration > Repositories > <repoName> > Access. Have an administrator check the bare repo in the GitCentric storage directory.
To do so, you need to navigate to the correct folder and then run the command git init , which will create a new empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one.
Most often, connection problems occur because a firewall, proxy server, corporate network, or other network is configured in a way that blocks GitHub.
This is because git@ uses ssh protocol. It is equivalent to ssh://git@.. So if you dont have correct ssh keys it will not work. Option git:// however uses git protocol which is similar to ssh but uses no authentication at all. See chapter on protocols for more information.

Your first clone method is using the git protocol, the second is using SSH.
You probably don't have your SSH token setup on github.com
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys
Gives you the steps on how to setup your user account for SSH use.
You can see the differences between the protocols as they pertain to github here:
