msysgit - Git can't find .ssh -
problem using msysgit on windows; can't find .ssh/id_rsa, though present should be.
i verified that's problem ssh -v git@github.com; command works when , when use -i option explicitly point @ correct id_rsa file far can tell, git doesn't have such option; , can't find either on google or in supplied documentation.
the peculiar thing is, worked fine last time used git few months ago, , haven't changed since seems cause.
i've tried following, no effect:
generating new id_rsa
putting .ssh in current directory
putting .ssh in root directory
uninstalling msysgit , reinstalling latest version
setting home environment variable
installing tortoisegit , trying instead (didn't work @ all)
any ideas else try?
found it!
the problem there 2 different git commands, git.exe (the actual program) , git.cmd (which sets necessary stuff work on windows). depending on options set @ install time, can end scenario former rather latter 1 ends in path, doesn't work. usual debugging suggestions regarding ssh.exe don't work unless you've run git.cmd.
in nutshell, make sure you're running git.cmd instead of git.exe.
