Help with cloning project

Hi, I had a bit of trouble in one of the stages of "Build a Simple Ruby on Rails App" so I deleted the app and thought I would just pull down the latest version from github. However when i do the 

git clone  git@github.com:john_doe/Treebook.git

command, it doesn't work? Any ideas?

Get the URL of the repository you're trying to get. So the command would be git clone [url], and if you want to put it into a directory named something other than what it's called in the repository, try git clone [url] [directory_name].
