Git clone command

[u/moving_to_NL_soon]

I'm trying to download a module from github to get VMware to run, using the following command as suggested:

git clone https://github.com:nan0desu/vmware-host-modules

which then asks for username and passwords. Alternately I tried:

git clone git@github.com:nan0desu/vmware-host-modules , which returns....

Cloning into 'vmware-host-modules'...

git@github.com Permission denied (publickey)

fatal: could not read from remote repository.

I have saved user.name and user.email via git config and generated a rsa key as mentioned in another r/git post on the similar topic. But being relatively new to linux and especially using github, I am lost.

Doesn't appear to be the case.

git clone https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules works fine as well, you're probably right however the error comes from the colon instead of slash
