could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address

I'm using git to build a docker image with this command: sudo docker build
github.com/roseperrone/myproject, but I get this error:
could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
How should I provide my git credentials?
I'm running inside an AWS ec2 instance.
