Git Command Does not Work in Windows CMD

Question

I am trying the below command in Windows CMD for Bitnami Gitlab VM machine at Windows 10.

git clone git@192.168.1.10:user/project.git

It works in Git Bash but the same command does not work for Windows CMD.

I suspect when used in Windows CMD ssh is looking for wrong keys and the output is:

Permission denied (publickey)

The command works in Git Bash terminal but I like to use Windows CMD.

How can I fix the issue?

Answer 1

您需要设置HOME以便CMD能够在.ssh文件夹下找到您的ssh密钥。

set HOME=%USERPROFILE%

Answer 2

I suspect when used in Windows CMD ssh is looking for wrong key

You don't have to suspect. You can see it.

Check that:

• your PATH does reference <git>/usr/bin
• where ssh is indeed ssh.exe from <git>/usr/bin
• HOME is set to the parent folder of your .ssh is

Then type:

ssh -Tv git@192.168.1.10

If the wrong ssh key is used, defines it in a .ssh/config file .

Host mygitserver
   Hostname 192.168.1.10
   User git
   IdentityFile "/C/path/to/my/private/key"
