MSysGit and ssh config. missing - windows

1) Run Git Bash (C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe --login)
$ ssh -v git#github.com
OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

Hi xpoft! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Okay! ssh config reading well.
2) Run from cmd.exe
C:\Users\Alexander Fedorov>ssh.exe -v git#github.com
OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

Nooo. ssh config file is missing...
How... how read config from ssh.exe?

What is probably missing is the user environment variable HOME.
If you launch your DOS session from the git-cmd.bat script packaged with msysgit, it should be defined, and you should see %HOME%\.ssh\id_rsa(.pub)
But from any other DOS windows, HOME isn't defined by default (HOMEPATH or USERPROFILE are).
See also "Fix msysGit Portable $HOME location" as an illustration (but you shouldn't need that workaround with recent versions of msysgit and its git-cmd.bat script)

Issue with connecting to bitbucket server via ssh on widnows

I have run command ssh -p [port] -v git#[host] and I get:

When I run git clone --recurse-submodules ssh://git#[host]:[port]/[repo].git I get:

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I have added public key to my bitbucket server.
I tried to generate different keys several times I have no clue what to do.
git does not ask for password when updating submodules
If those submodules are accessible with the same user as the one identified with your SSH keys, Git should not ask for password anyway.
Even if they are using an HTTPS URL, the user credentials might already be cached locally by a credential helper (git config --global credential.helper to check its value).

SSH to wpengine works in windows command terminal but not git bash

Recently I had to get my hard drive replaced on my work machine and thus had to reconfigure everything. As a result I had to reinstall git bash. Before I was able to ssh fine into wpengine and now I cannot.
I am able to connect via the regular windows terminal fine but when I try with git bash I am getting the "Permission denied (publickey)." error for the same exact command.
I have tried all the suggested options from wpengine and in the different questions related to this on other SE questions and nothing is working.
I am using a Windows machine on windows 10.
Here are the following things I have tried:
Regenerating the key and adding it to my user public keys again and
then waiting 24 hours.
Adding the config details to the ssh_config file in C:\Program
Files\Git\etc\ssh
Adding a config file to my /User/username/.ssh/ folder.
I have tried using the following link and adding the wpengine rsa file: https://gist.github.com/jherax/979d052ad5759845028e6742d4e2343b as well.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
My guess is there is some kind of permissions issue going on the local machine?
Why would the request from git bash terminal to wpengine look different from windows command terminal?
I did solve my issue. If it helps you please use it!
When I used the command to the ssh host with : ssh -v user#environment.wpengine.ssh.net info
I got back this among the debug errors:
debug1: Offering public key: /c/Users/USERNAME/.ssh/KEY_FILENAME RSA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX explicit
debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
user#environment.ssh.wpengine.net: Permission denied (publickey).
After finding this page:
https://transang.me/ssh-handshake-is-rejected-with-no-mutual-signature-algorithm-error/
I was able to solve the issue by adding the line:
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa to my ssh config file.
Honestly I am not even 10% certain on WHY this worked, however, it solved my problem.

Could not resolve hostname for GitLab

So I just created a GitLab project and installed Git for windows, and after I generated/set up my ssh keys, the testing isn't successful:
C:\DiscordBot\SillyBot> ssh -vvvT git#Random-nii-chan
OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.6p1, LibreSSL 2.6.4
debug3: Failed to open file:C:\\Users\\Random-nii-chan/.ssh/config error:2

debug2: resolving "random-nii-chan" port 22
C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\OpenSSH\\ssh.exe: Could not resolve hostname random-nii-chan: Unknown host.
I went to my git folder, created a .ssh directory and generated my keys in there (public and private).
What did i do wrong ?
Thanks in advance !
Thanks for your help. I created the conf file in a .ssh folder in %USERPROFILE% as you said, but when i run the test command, it says:
C:\DiscordBot\SillyBot>ssh -vvvT git#Random-nii-chan
OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.6p1, LibreSSL 2.6.4
debug1: Reading configuration data C:\\Users\\Random-nii-chan/.ssh/config

ssh: Could not resolve hostname git#random-nii-chan: Une erreur irr\351cup\351rable s\222est produite lors d\222une recherche sur la base de donn\351es.
(an unfetchable error has occured while browsing the database, sorry if the translation is not correct)
Here is the content of my config file:
Host Random-nii-chan
Hostname git#Random-nii-chan
User git
IdentityFile C:\DiscordBot\SillyBot\.ssh\gitlab
I edited it with the nano command
First, ssh does not look for your keys in "your git folder", but in %USERPROFILE%, in your case C:\Users\Random-nii-chan
Second, make sure you have a C:\Users\Random-nii-chan.ssh\config file (no extension, with LF end of lines, not CRLF) where you define what random-nii-chan is:
Host random-nii-chan
Hostname yourGitLabserver.com
User git
IdentityFile c:/path/to/your/private/key
Then you can try ssh -Tv random-nii-chan (no need to add git#: the User is specified in the config file)

SSH Failure using Git For Windows

I'm using Git For Windows (not msys or GitHub) in my build server scripts. We have a self-hosted BitBucket repository with an SSH access key configured. I'm trying to do an initial clone in my build scripts via the command line and it is failing with an SSH error/
Here is my environment:
Windows Server 2012
Git For Windows 1.9.4
SSH key stored in %USERPROFILE%\.ssh
.ssh\config points to proper SSH key for my git server domain
my server is in my known_hosts file
SysInternals ProcMon shows that the ssh key is being checked during the clone operation
The same clone operation works using the Git Bash window that comes with Git for Windows. So this rules out an invalid key (I believe)
Here is the Loglevel DEBUG3 logging from SSH during the clone operation:
[exec] debug3: send packet: type 30
[exec] debug1: sending SSH2_MSG_KEX_ECDH_INIT
[exec] debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY
[exec] debug3: receive packet: type 31

[exec] Host key verification failed.
[exec] fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
[exec]
[exec] Please make sure you have the correct access rights
[exec] and the repository exists.
I can't tell if the "can't open /dev/tty" issue is the real deal breaker. I don't even know what /dev/tty would equate to inside of a Windows command window.
What's more frustrating is this exact type of operation succeeds on another repo I use with the same SSH key pair. I can see no difference in the configuration
read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address is your deal breaker here. Git needs to get the password of your ssh key but cannot since it has no access to the tty (stdin). Are you running your git command from the Git Bash or from some other terminal?
As a workaround, you can create a passwordless ssh key and use that one instead. To get that working, in your Git Bash home directory, set something similar to this example:
$ ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa -N "" -f "${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa_passwordless"
$ cat <<EOF >>.ssh/config
Host github.com
HostName github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_passwordless
EOF
Of course, it is better that you use an SSH key with a password under Git Bash, but at least you have a workaround.

Could not create directory /var/teamsserver

I've installed os x server (Mavericks) on my mac and would like to add bot. For some reasons my remote repo is located on other external server and I have access to it by username and password on specified port. I've added remote repo to os x server like this:
ssh://1.2.3.4:PORT/path/to/repo.git
...filled username and password.
Then I've added bot in Xcode but when I hit integrate it fails with logs:

I assume that there is a problem with permissions but in my /var there are some directories with different permissions and of course there is no teams server folder...
So I don't know how to setup proper permissions (without changing permissions of other subdirectories of /var...). I can try manually make directory "teams server" but don't know with what permissions... ? Do you have any ideas?
EDIT: For test purpose I've created teamsserver directory with 777 but that doesn't solve my problem. Logs looks the same as previous butjust WITHOUT line:
Could not create directory '/var/teamsserver/.ssh'.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I experienced a similar issue with scheme action build scripts when attempting to run git commands against a github repo protected by ssh key pairs.
Bots run builds using a _teamsserver system account. As you've discovered, these accounts don't have home directories by default. To setup builds to access and modify their home directory, I had success with the following (your mileage may vary):
sudo mkdir /var/teamsserver
sudo chown -R _teamsserver:_teamsserver /var/teamsserver/
sudo chmod -R 770 /var/teamsserver/
HTH
Ok, I took some time but I've a solution... Two solutions actually. Ashamed to admit but read and understand logs is enough to solve the problem (again :P).
FIRST ANSWER:
My server host key was added to .ssh/known_hosts BEFORE installing os x server. Server does't use that path of known hosts. As log says server uses:
SSH Known Hosts file path is located at
/Library/Server/Xcode/Config/ssh_known_hosts
and that file was empty in my case. So to solve the problem it is enough to copy known_hosts to ssh_known_hosts:
sudo cp ~/.ssh/known_hosts /Library/Server/Xcode/Config/ssh_known_hosts
It's that simple.
SECOND ANSWER:
Acording to log again
SSH strict host checking is enabled (you can disable this by editing
the SSHStrictHostKeyChecking key in /Library/Server/Xcode/Config/xcsbuildd.plist
Change SSHStrictHostKeyChecking to false.
It's done again.
If you've tried the above and still are getting a permission denied error, you probably don't have the right permissions to that file/directory.
Who are you running as? $id
$ls -al the directory that the server is trying to read the id_rsa from (Probably similar to this path: Library/Server/Xcode/Data/BotRuns/BotRun-a28db5fc-1932-47a0-a528-f52c75e421e2.b‌​undle/credentials/65885363-194e-454b-a3ce-56dcaaf5d3c9/id_rsa)
change ownership of that file ^^ ($sudo chown {#id} {#path})
I did 3 things to allow me to get past this, although I'm not sure which of them solved the problem:
Change all git repositories in my project to use the HTTPS rather than SSH (git) version of the url
Disabled SSHStrictHostKeyChecking as per the instructions from the source control log from the bot.
Enabled TrustSelfSignedSSLCertificates as per the same instructions from the log.
Also check out https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5586872 in case this is a problem for you.
I will back some of these items off and test when I have more time.
