capistrano deploy asking for USERNAME / PASSWORD on git ls-remote call

First time Capistrano user, I have set up the pieces from the best I can tell but when I run cap deploy, I get the following asking for my github username 

Fri Dec 02$ cap deploy
  * executing `deploy'
  * executing `deploy:update'
 ** transaction: start
  * executing `deploy:update_code'
    executing locally: "git ls-remote https://github.com/uname/repo HEAD"
Username:

I'm assuming that this running locally on my OS X laptop. If I run git ls-remote https://github.com/uname/repo, I get prompted for a USERNAME. However, I can run git clone this repository fine, making me think that the local ssh keys are set up correctly. What am I missing here?

thx

edit #1 - top of deploy.rb 

set :application, "test-rails"
set :repository,  "https://github.com/uname/app"

set :scm, :git
set :user, "deploy"
set :deploy_to, "/data/sites/site.com/apps/#{application}"
set :use_sudo, false
set :keep_releases, 5

role :web, "173.230.xxx.xxx"

perhaps it will help to others: on target server make sure credentials for cached repo. t cached my first NON password url and no matter how i update url in deploy.rb it was not updated on origin

in my case...

go to: /srv/YOURREPONAME/shared/cached-copy

git remote show origin

make sure your origin has same URL as you trying to set in deploy.rb

You're using an HTTPS URL. This will ignore your SSH keys, and you'll have to do basic authentication over HTTPS. You want your URL to instead be ssh://[email protected]/uname/repo.

(Cloning works because you can clone anonymously and don't need to authenticate.)
