This appears to be caused by this here commit: 516653c

So I checked it out and was able to resolve my own issue by registering a public SSH key with my github account for the computer I was on. I confirmed that this was the case by:

• Running git clone git@github.com:gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default.git gatsby and observing failure.
• Adding this computers public SSH key to my GitHub account.
• Running git clone git@github.com:gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default.git gatsby and observing succes.
• Just for kicks, removing the SSH key from my GH account and observing failure once again.

So, that's the problem. I guess some possible solutions would be requiring all users of Gatsby-CLI to have a GitHub account with an SSH key registered on every computer they're using Gatsby-CLI on, which seems like a lot, or reverting to the previous means of grabbing the repo, which I'm sure was changed for some other valid reason that would need to be dealt with in another way.

But in the interim, if anyone is having this issue why not try: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/

I assumed it was something similar I was going down that exact path, thanks for the confirmation!

[yadavshashank]

Worked like a charm, thanks.

[HighTide2020]

The same problem used SSH and worked!

[dhnaranjo]

@shashank1558 slow down my man, I really don't think it is like, desirable to require every single Gatsby user to have to register an ssh key with github in order to use the program, do you?

Like, just because this tool is hosted on github, should the use of it be tied to being a github user?

Hey sorry about this — I merged a PR a few days ago which broke things for people without a public key. This PR removed that requirement #3735

Upgrade to the latest gatsby-cli to get this.
