title: IDEA IntelliJ git clone
body: <p>I am new to git and IntelliJ. I would like to get the source code for a project from a remote git repository and work on it using IntelliJ. I am use to Eclipse and SVN which has a "Checkout as Project" dialog. </p>
  
  <p>I tried using "Check out from version control" but w/o any success.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>As the "GIT Repo URL" I entered <code>git+ssh://user@devserver.dev.org:/var/git/myProject</code></li>
  <li>As the "Parent Dir" I added local directory <code>/home/myName</code></li>
  <li>As the "Dir Name" I added <code>myProject</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I pressed the clone button and nothing happend on the IDE. It does create the directory <code>/home/myName/myProject</code> with the <code>.git</code> configs but nothing has been fetched from the remote repository nor has the "New Project" Wizzard come up.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone shed some light on how this would be done using IntelliJ and Git compared to Eclipse and SVN? I am using IDEA 10.5 and Fedora LINUX OS. </p>
