builtin.git fails to clone private repo

Here is my task:

  • name: Install Private Git Repos
    git:
    repo: “{{ item.repo }}”
    dest: “/home/don/Developer/{{ item.dest }}”
    with_items:
  • repo: git@github.com:DonBower/ansible.git
    dest: ansible

I can do this manually from the target hosts command line, but running ansible-playbook results in:

failed: [ideapad-ubuntu.ag6hq.net] (item={‘repo’: ‘git@github.com:DonBower/ansible.git’, ‘dest’: ‘ansible’}) => {

},

}

What am I doing wrong?

You have both

“accept_hostkey”: false,
“accept_newhostkey”: false

Does it run as you, or do you “–become”? Because there appears to be no key for github.com in that user’s ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.
