When trying to add my private repository using the julia repl. It sops adding with a line saying Private key location for 'git@github.com' [C:\Users\[username]\.ssh\id_rsa]: I’m not entirely sure what I should type in as it’s already pointing to the private key loaction. I’ve tried the following. …

I have been struggling with this issue for a long time. It still causes me a lot of pain. On linux at least, it seems that the core problem is that only the command line ssh uses .ssh/config, libgit2 does not use it in any way. I’m still not entirely sure why it won’t accept the key when I explic…

The situation gets much worse when you have multiple, interdependent private repositories. I’ve just given up and enter my credentials several times for every update.

My solution has been to manage repos with command line git and use ]dev. It works ok at first, but of course you can’t version control your packages. At some point I started writing increasingly elaborate Julia scripts to pull all my repos. I feel like eventually I will just have wound up complet…

Yeah, I used to recommend that. We started having problems with users accidentally committing Project.toml and Manifest.toml files with local paths still in them. Since I’m too lazy to figure out how to maintain a private registry, it’s also verbose to replace the local path with the remote.

Could you test with Julia 1.3-RC2 and see if it makes a difference? https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/33089 might make a difference.

Hi, thank you both for your help. @ExpandingMan I’ve been using an ssh-agent. I reactivated just in case it by running $ eval $(ssh-agent) and ssh-add "C:\Users\[Username]\.ssh\id_rsa". This hasn’t done anything, it’s behaving the same way. You did mention having to perform many searches though…

[image] HBaghdadi1995: I’ve been using an ssh-agent. I wish I could be more helpful, it’s been a while since I’ve tried to set it up. I remember it being a pain, but basically working as advertised. One of my major concerns with it was it screwing up my existing, perfectly cogent .ssh/confi…

I have no memory of how i set my SSH-Agent up. I just know I did, and that it works now.

For what it’s worth the arch linux wiki entries for these things are always extremely informative, but in this particular case it doesn’t clear up any of my biggest concerns about how my normal ssh config will be affected.

I use both so i think it is fine
