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?

Launch the SSH agent, run the “$ ssh-add ~/. ssh/id_rsa”, add the SSH public key into the agent, and copy it. Next, go to the “GitHub” settings, and add the SSH key. Lastly, open the repository, copy “SSH URL” and execute the “$ git clone” command with copied URL.
To clone a Git repository, you will first copy the remote URL from your repository hosting service—in this case GitHub. You will then use the Git clone command followed by the remote repo's URL. If you are working with a private repository, you will be prompted for your remote hosting service credentials.

I don't know anything about egit. But what you usually do is:
Start ssh-agent (mine is automatically started, when my window manager starts, so you have to google a bit how to setup it)
Run ssh-add [your key]
