What is the command format for bitbake recipietool that uses github with ssh access?

Question

I have tried all kinds of URL formats with recipetool but nothing seems to work with my github url.

URL to use : [email protected]/<username>/repo1.git

recipetool create [email protected]:<username>/repo1.git

I keep getting error as follows:
