Hi -
I'm trying to get EGit to work with gitolite. Every thing works
fine on the command-line. For example I can clone like this:
git clone gitolite@xxxxxxxxxxxx:TEST
However when I try to clone from inside eclipse, EGit always
asks for my passphrase. Even though I give it the correct passphrase,
it keeps asking for my passphrase as if the one I gave it wasn't correct.
I have tried several permutations for the remote repository URI
but still no luck. I have tried pushing to a repository, but I still
get the same problem.
Am I missing something basic or perhaps EGit doesn't yet work with
gitolite?
- "SSH2 home" under preference "General > Network Connections > SSH2"
should point to the directory where the ssh keys are located
- is the environment variable HOME pointing to your user home directory
containing .gitconfig and .ssh folder ?
- can you load the private ssh key from Eclipse ?
to check that go to tab "Key Management" under
preference "General > Network Connections > SSH2"
and try to load the private key
