Docker container cannot clone public Github repo

I am guessing this is an internet connectivity issue, however, there might be some RSA public key missing.

I have this Dockerfile:

FROM node:4-onbuild
COPY test-install-post-publish.sh /usr/src/app/
EXPOSE 8888

The bash script that gets COPY'ed into the container looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd # cd to home dir
mkdir suman-test
cd suman-test &&
rm -rf suman-test-projects &&
git clone [email protected]:sumanjs/suman-test-projects.git &&
cd suman-test-projects &&
./test-all.sh

I run the container, and I get this:

npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using [email protected]
npm info using [email protected]
npm info prestart [email protected]
npm info start [email protected]

> [email protected] start /usr/src/app
> ./test-install-post-publish2.sh

Cloning into 'suman-test-projects'...
The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.253.113)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.253.113' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So it looks like the container can "connect to the internet", but it is barfing because it doesn't have the RSA information it needs. BUT this is a public repo! Why is Github asking for SSH keys and stuff?

Anyone know what might be happening? How to fix? I am certain this is a public Github repo, you could see for yourself if you want.

Perhaps I should just use HTTPS instead of SSH ?

Yes, if you didn't add the ssh key.

But still, why the above?

You need to add your public key to GitHub in order to clone through SSH -- even if it is a public repo. Why? Because git needs to authenticate though SSH to GitHub's servers in order to do the clone. And in order to do that, they need to have your public key.
