SmartGIT does not ask for ssh key
Was facing the same problem, as Smart Git wouldn't ask me for the SSH key location when trying to clone a repo (instead, the process would just hang..).
Steps to resolve (on Windows):
- Copy ssh keys to C:/Users/MyUserName/.ssh (as they were in a different location before after generation)
- Clone the repository in Smart Git again, now after specifying the repository URL, it DID ask for the SSH key location (this dialog was not shown before!)
- Select the SSH private key (which has been converted with e.g. Putty Keygen to an OpenSSH compatible format)
- Voila, cloning works!
PS: I agree Smart Git's behavior above was weird here, as it would only let u select the key location, if the keys are in the .ssh folder specified above
I had same problem. select option 'Use SmartGit as SSH client' from SmartGit -> Edit-> Preference -> Authentication And it worked.
