Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address 'xxx.xx.xxx.x' to the list of known hosts

I forked someone's repo and then got the warning in my terminal. I'm not getting the warning when I clone into forked repos from that user.

I looked into the list here: https://api.github.com/meta but couldn't find the IP address on there. Are there other places where I can verify whose IP address this is, and whether I should be concerned? Thank you!

git clone [email protected]:gminova/mc-client-side-validation.git

Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '140.82.113.4' to the list of known hosts.

It is in the meta list:

"git": [
    "192.30.252.0/22",
    "185.199.108.0/22",
    "140.82.112.0/20",
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A /20 subnet mask covers the range 140.82.112.1 - 140.82.127.254, and so does include 140.82.113.4.
