Private Git repo - freezes at pulling
Get your friend to try:
git fetch -v
If that doesn't give you the answer then get him to do this:
cat .git/config
If your server is secure then update your question to include the output of that command. If it's not secure then change the IP and other identifying details to a fake IP and fake details, but try not to alter anything else as you may end up providing misleading info.
Edit based on update:
The url should start with "ssh://" not "ssh/". Although I'm about to go double check that.
If Git push/pull freeze using a config that previously worked, try restarting the computer.
It sounds strange yet I have experienced this on Windows and Linux.
I had the same problem until I went into my Ethernet adapter settings and changed the Jumbo Packet size from 1514 bytes to 9014 bytes.
