This happens when you list a git repository as a dependency in your package.json file.

"<somepackage>": "git://github.com/someorg/somerepo.git"

If the repository is public, swap the URL to an HTTP URL:

"<somepackage>": "https://github.com/someorg/somerepo"

If the repository is private, add an additional SSH key in Project settings > SSH Keys > Additional SSH Keys. See this document for more information.
