MSysGit and ssh config. missing
git, msysgit, ssh, windows
Solution
What is probably missing is the user environment variable `HOME`.
If you launch your DOS session from the `git-cmd.bat` script packaged with msysgit, it should be defined, and you should see `%HOME%\.ssh\id_rsa(.pub)`
But from any other DOS windows, `HOME` isn't defined by default (`HOMEPATH` or `USERPROFILE` are). See also "Fix msysGit Portable $HOME location" as an illustration (but you shouldn't need that workaround with recent versions of msysgit and its `git-cmd.bat` script)
Problem
1) Run Git Bash (C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe --login) ``` $ ssh -v git@github.com OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /c/Users/Alexander Fedorov/.ssh/config debug1: Applying options for github.com debug1: Connecting to github.com [207.97.227.239] port 22. debug1: Connection established. ... Hi xpoft! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. ... ``` Okay! ssh config reading well. 2) Run from cmd.exe ``` C:\Users\Alexander Fedorov>ssh.exe -v git@github.com OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1: Connecting to github.com [207.97.227.239] port 22. ... debug1: No more authentication methods to try. Permission denied (publickey). ``` Nooo. ssh config file is missing... How... how read config from ssh.exe?
