According to the manual ( git commit --help ): -v , --verbose. Show unified diff between the HEAD commit and what would be committed at the bottom of the commit message template to help the user describe the commit by reminding what changes the commit has.
Once your key is open, you want to select Conversions -> Export OpenSSH key and save it to HOME\. ssh\id_rsa . After you have the key at that location, Git Bash will recognize the key and use it.
If your PATH is correctly set:
You need:
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
Then
set GIT_SSH_COMMAND=ssh -vvv
You can force git to provide verbose ssh output with the "GIT_SSH_COMMAND" environment variable.
For example, to get verbose output from OpenSSH-For-Windows for a git clone command, just open a command prompt and enter
set GIT_SSH_COMMAND="C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\ssh.exe" -vvv
git clone <repo_ssh_url>
