CLI Won't Generate from Private Remote Repository with ssh config

[tdrozdowski]

If you have a config file in ~/$USER_HOME/.ssh - the g8 command line will not work properly.

Expected behavior - it would identify the proper key via the config and use that to login via ssh to GitHub

Actual behavior - authentication fails and you are asked for username and password - which never work.

The only work around I currently have is to checkout the giter8 template projects locally and then use the file:// url to get to them. Ideally this should 'just work'.

OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6
Giter8 - 0.9.0 (via brew)

I have the same problem when try to point g8 (version 0.10.0) or sbt new (sbt version 1.1.6) command using ssh url to the private remote repository. However git clone works properly

I have the same problem when try to use g8 (version 0.11.0) or sbt new (sbt version 1.2.8) command to create a template from a private remote repository. It asks for username and password, but never worked even though the username and password are correct. Shouldn't it use ssh config instead by default?

If you've enabled 2FA on your account you'll need to create a personal access token and use that token's value instead of a password.

Not sure it's the same issue, but when I run

cs foundweekends/giter8

I get the error:

Github responded with HTTP 403 Forbidden.
You may need to generate a github access token.
see https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/

It works fine if I remove the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file.

@CedricAgoda and @devstuff, can you please test this fix? Instructions are provided, and you just need coursier and sbt to build it.
