Host key validation failed

Means that the server host key is not trusted (which is sane -- there is no way to verify that key from a script -- you should do that manually).

Go to the GitHub documentation , where you can see the fingerprints you will be verifying.

Then change to this user running the script ( apache ?) for example using sudo and run ssh github.com . It will prompt you to verify the fingerprints. If they match, write yes and then you script should pass.
