I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting an error from my remote git repository when I try to deploy my rails app. It's telling me that it's not a git repository, yet I can push and pull from it without issue. However I recently had issues with git not being found by bash, but it was simply a path variable issue that cropped up when I installed macports (I think). It's now fixed. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide! The error output is below:

Turns out the problem was that the repository address WAS malformed as the user above suggested. However, the problem was resolved by adding an 'ssh:' prefix to the repository address. Thanks for the suggestions!
Looks like you've got a malformed Git URL:
git ls-remote git@server.example.ca/usr/local/git_root/project.git master
Should be:
git ls-remote git@server.example.ca:/usr/local/git_root/project.git master
They follow SCP protocol (see the git-clone manpage for more).
Your key must be available to ssh-agent
I had same problem. Solved with "ssh-add yourkey" , where yourkey is the path do id_rsa, and you can check with: ssh-add -L, if ok will return your public key
Could you try deleting the local repository and re-cloning it?
