Public key issue with command line in sourceTree (git )
- Set SSH Key to a PuTTY private key (.ppk) and set SSH Client to
PuTTY / Plink
- Set an environment variable
GIT_SSH
to the path of plink.exe, for exampleC:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\SourceTree\tools\putty\plink.exe
Of course you could have a separate, global OpenSSH key in %HOMEPATH%\.ssh\id_rsa
but then you would lose the advantage of SourceTree loading the correct key automatically.
By the way, I can confirm that neither of these work:
- Setting SSH Key to an OpenSSH private key and using
OpenSSH
as SSH Client - Setting SSH Key to a PuTTY private key and using
PuTTY / Plink
as SSH Client
