[chef] cloning from github

[< >]

Hi,

I am trying to clone from github, I created a new cookbook and added this to
the recipe -

git "/home/test/" do
  repository 
"
 :testdb/testfile.git"
  reference "master"
  action :sync
end

I have a question, Should I use "sync" or "checkout" to clone? and I have 
added
the public_keys of the virtual machine I m testing to github, I tested by
giving a git clone from the node and it works.

This is the error that pops up -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.9.12/bin/../lib/chef/provider/git.rb:159:in

Could not access the remote Git repository. If this is a private repository,
please verify that the deploy key for your application has been added to your
remote Git account.
