Hi everyone,

I would like to use a ssh-agent which provides my ssh key while interacting with the remote git repo.

I use Windows 10.

On one machine I can git clone flawlessly. The ssh key is provided by the ssh-agent automatically, but on another machine this doesn't work. I am prompted for a password.

Tools like TortoiseSVN use the key provided by the ssh-agent.

I just can't figure out what's different on the two machines, so maybe someone has a hint which configuration might be missing?

Thanks!

Kind regards
Oliver

Probably you have set environment variable GIT_SSH on the machine where it works, and not on the other machine.
