We already got some developer having a similar issue. He then wrote back that there was something wrong with his local git utility configuration

@heyqbnk should i have already initialized git repository before running the npx script in terminal ?

Nope. Under the hood, this utility just uses the command like git clone .... You could try doing the same with reactjs-template:

Here is the possible solution for your problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/45679/ssh-connection-problem-with-host-key-verification-failed-error

I have added a new update which makes CLI try to use repository HTTPS link first and then SSH link. This can also solve your problem
