Hi,

If you have the private key registered in Jenkins' credential store,
you should be able to do that with the sshagent step, see:
https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/ssh-agent/

If not then you'd want to configure ssh authentication as usual, for
example by generating a key and copying its public counter part to the
repository, and/or setup the ~/.ssh/config accordingly.

Best regards,
