I think this is due to ssh problem

Make sure whether your key is in the .ssh folder, if yes, then do the following one

Open ~/.bashrc & add

eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/your_respective_key

and do bash on terminal and do git pull.I hope it will work

You need to make sure the public key you've registered with Github is the one for the user doing the Git pull.

The Github guide for setting up keys is well laid out, and they have a linux version: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys#platform-linux

Make sure it's definitely the correct user's public key, and you have not included any whitespace at the end of the key - the key finishes at the end of your email address.

              That is the end of your key ----^
