     ^^^ Public read-only URL

That isn't the writable URL.  That is the public anonymous read-only
location.  For project members you will need/want to use the
authenticated ssh:// url.  To show the paths in your git repository:

  git remote show -n origin

Try using the ssh location.

  ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/librejs.git

You can rewrite your remote URL location on your presently cloned
repository.  This should change your origin from git:// to ssh:// on
your presently cloned repository.

  git remote set-url origin ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/librejs.git

  git remote show origin
