GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable as a git configuration

Question

i am using GIT_SSH_COMMAND and i tried to find whether there is a corresponding git configuration so i could use rather than using the environment variable, though i couldn't find it.

is there a way to use git configuration for GIT_SSH_COMMAND rather than specifying it as an environment variable?

Answer 1

The setting is core.sshCommand , cf. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config

Answer 2

core.sshCommand

If this variable is set, git fetch and git push will use the specified command instead of ssh when they need to connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable and is overridden when the environment variable is set.
