Jenkins uses credentials to access private repositories. You'll need to provide the credentials for that repository as a Jenkins credential.
The Jenkins git plugin supports username / password credentials for https repositories. The Jenkins git plugin supports private key credentials for ssh repositories. The sample repository syntax you provided is an https repository. You'll need to provide a username / password credential, not a private key credential.
