Similar issue on Linux.
When I reopen repo in devcontainer using docker-compose I can't use git anymore. It says
Git: Host Verification failed.

But if I run git fetch in terminal and answer yes to

The authenticity of host 'bitbucket.org (18.205.93.2)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:zzXQOXSRBEiUtuE8AikJYKwbHaxvSc0ojez9YXaGp1A.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

I can use all git features again.

@tarioch Duplicate of #1578.

@lem8r That sounds like a limitation of the built-in Git support. Maybe that could show a better error message.

I found a solution of my problem by adding

RUN echo "StrictHostKeyChecking no" >> /home/vscode/.ssh/config

to Dockerfile of my devcontainer image
