Eclipse: How to clone git over ssh with keyfile?


Hey, I am using Eclipse (while running Ubuntu 10.10) and would like to connect to a remote git. Normally I would use the egit plugin, but now I need to connect over ssh with keyfile.

Unfortunately egit has no "with keyfile" option, is there a way to connect to my repository with my keyfile? Is there a "hidden" way to make Eclipse to pass parameters (-i keyfile) to ssh or something?


Solution

  • http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide/Remote - I had to manually load my existing key in the "Key Management" tab.
