I can’t quite make sense if it. My best guess is that you somehow copied some invisible character between the colon and the //.
Maybe try typing the command. Or if you typed it, try copy and paste.

It looks like you typed https;//github…
Yes, thank you @pfaffman and @Moin you were both correct… I had copy/pasted the command
https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git /var/discourse into the web-based console in Hetzner
I tried typing it into the console instead, and indeed that worked!
