Unable to git-clone: "fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: logi"

Question

Windows 10, key stored in running Pageant, GIT_SSH set to path leading to plink.exse. The commnand goes through on Linux, so I guess the problem is with Windows and SSH settings?

The line I am calling is: git clone ssh://git.address/srv/git/particularRepo

Start debugging with `ssh git.address` — watch for excessive text starting with "logi". — phd, Jun 04 '20 at 14:36

Try adding a git@ in front of the hostname like this

git clone ssh://git@github.com/organization/repo

Also if it's a github repo try copying the code from the green clone or download button. example

otherwise if it works on linux, why not use wsl? – Alistair1231 Jun 04 '20 at 10:37
The linux user is my colleague, on his computer, I do not have Linux installed. – Faire Jun 04 '20 at 10:46
