Is there any way to configure SSH keys to Lazygit?

[hasin023]

Every time I try to pull or push to a remote repo that is using the SSH link, It says, "Permission denied (publickey)". How can I resolve this??

[mark2185]

How do you push through the cli?

[hasin023]

In the most standard way that lazy git has to offer. 'a'[To add all un-tracked files] -> 'c' [To write commit mssg and commit] -> 'P' [to push]

I was thinking through using git itself. Do you have to put in the passphrase or stuff like that.

[samuelnihoul]

yes we do

[mark2185]

@samuelnihoul then look into an SSH agent program like keychain.

Once you add your key into the keychain you'll only have to enter the passphrase the first time it is used.

You can use gnome keyring which can be set up to unlock on login to avoid additional pass prompts for ssh https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring

I also have this issue

I couldn't find any fix, so I just stopped using Lazygit :")

You need to configure SSH on YOUR SYSTEM not Lazygit, maybe the agent is not working. Maybe bad configuration.
I wrote a guide some time ago maybe someone find something useful there.

I have my SSH-Agent running. I can use SSH repo fine when i use git from powershell... but when i load lazygit it breaks.... why does lazygit do anything special.. shouldn't it just be wrapping around the existing git command? its like its using its own local git command

[hasecilu]

Mmm, maybe there is a Windows limitation that prevents the same flawless behaviour on Linux.

[RollsChris]

or maybe windows is being snubbed by the linux possy ;) anyway i think this repo should just remove the statement that it supports windows

i have the same issue. lazygit is giving me error: Permission denied (publickey, password)
although from same terminal from where I run lazygit if I push things using Git command line, it works just fine (it asks password, i enter it and it pushes changes in)

and I am Debian user.

i guess lazygit is not working properly here. as simple as that
its ok..back to Sublime Merge ;-)
