So, I have been trying on and off to get IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate to connect to our GitLab and JIRA server but both require the use of PKI and I cannot figure out how to get this to work. When attempting to use the VCS menu option for Git to pull or interact with Git, I get Git Pull Failed fata: Could not read from remote repository. If I am using the terminal screen within IntelliJ it works just fine after I enter my passphrase for the cert. Now note that I am on a Windows system.
A colleague next to me has IntelliJ same version running on a Linux system and he is able to use the Git VCS menu features.
Anybody know how to get Windows to work properly with IntelliJ to Git and or JIRA?
Make sure you have the .ssh/config file in your user home that specified the key to use, by their full path. Then make sure you have Built-in SSH executable selected in Settings - Version control - Git
Workaround - use Native SSH executable and ssh-agent. A similar setup described here
