Ssh -T first time you connect to GitLab via SSH, you should verify the authenticity of the GitLab host that you're connecting to. To test whether your SSH key was added correctly, run the following command in your terminal (replacing with your GitLab's instance domain):
#Github sourcetree ssh key password#
Go to Tools | Options | General and set the SSH Client to PuTTY/Plink and uncheck the "Automatically start SSH agent when Sourcetree opens".Īfter did below test, the password never asked for me. The last step to get SourceTree working with OpenSSH is a bit counter-intuitive. Now all calls to Pageant's NamedPipe will be proxied to the OpenSSH agent.

To allow programs and libraries such as Sourcetree, WinSCP and Fabric that normally use Pageant to instead have keys provided by the ssh-agent there is an awesome program įollow instructions to install winssh-pageant, schedule it as a task to start on windows startup. Test that you can authenticate via ssh: ssh -T private keys will now be loaded when you log in to your Windows account and you won't have to provide passphrases ever again. Start the ssh-agent service and set to automatic.Īdd your private keys to the agent with ssh-add Īdd your public keys to the hosts you want to authenticate with. The trick is to proxy all requests to Pageant through to your OpenSSH agent. You're here because you want to use the OpenSSH agent, with OpenSSH formatted keys, with passphrases but without being prompted for said passphrase all over the place.

There are heaps of instructions on how to use Pageant as your ssh agent, but that is not why you're here. Even if you can get that to work it will still prompt for your key passphrase on startup because Sourcetree's ssh-agent process doesn't save your keys to the the Windows keychain. The problem is that Sourcetree on windows wants to start its own instance of the ssh-agent instead of using the already running service. You can use the Windows OpenSSH ssh-agent to manage your keys.
This solution didn't solve my problem either: SourceTree is loading your SSH key into the agent for authentication Please enter your passphrase if prompted to do so Enter passphrase for D:\MyName\GitLab\.ssh\id_rsa: my keys are saved in a directory like /d/MyName/Gitlab/ instead of ~/.ssh/ but that shouldn't be a problem, right? How can I make SourceTree / the SSH agent remember this password? However, each time I restart SourceTree a terminal pops-up and I have to re-enter my password again*. Ssh-keygen -t rsa -C entered filename, password etc)Īdded the public key to SourceTree by "Tools > Add SSH key" followed by the password ("Tools > options > SSH client configuration" I've selected OpenSSH).Īfter these steps I'm able to push and pull code. In SourceTree I'm using OpenSSH as authentication and created + added my SSH keys (on Windows) like this:
