I am not able to clone a repository from Intellij IDEA and fails with the below error, shown in the image.

However, I am able to clone the repository from command prompt successfully, shown in the below image.

Note that I have added the public key file to the Bitbucket successfully. Also, the below image shows the contents of the 'config' file as well.

As suggested in the comments, I have run the which git command and it points to the location /usr/local/bin/git as shown in the below image:

Also, IntelliJ's settings for 'Version Control' > Git also points to the same location i.e., /usr/local/bin/git as shown in the below image:

I have also provided the Intellij console tab error details in the below image:

Open the Console tab of the Version control window in order to see what command is launched, and its full error message.

Regarding SSH URL, relaunch IntelliJ IDEA after exporting:

export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -Tv'

You will see in that console tab much more details regarding the clone attempt and its errors.

I had exactly the same problem recently using SSH as authentication method. The solution for me was to create a config file inside ~/.ssh (or modify it, if you already have one).

Inside this config file add:

Host github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/name_of_your_private_key

Then chmod 600 to the config file.

Of course you can replace Host and User with values according to any particular case.

Hope this helps ;)
