We were using a build script to automate our publishing process and it was working with SVN but now we are using Git and need to do some command line operations to pull from our remote repository.
I was able to follow the guide here and using the Git bash it works great. However, I need to perform these tasks from the Windows command line so that they can be executed by the script.
git pull origin master works in the Git bash.
cd "c:\program files (x86)\git\bin git --git-dir=path\to\.git pull origin master fails with an error
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Obviously my SSH key is not being used properly or something. I'm so new to this that I really have no clue what to do.

The git pull command is actually a combination of two other commands, git fetch followed by git merge . In the first stage of operation git pull will execute a git fetch scoped to the local branch that HEAD is pointed at. Once the content is downloaded, git pull will enter a merge workflow.
Now you can use the gpr command straight from your command line to automatically open a page to compare two remote branches and start the Pull Request process automatically!
Try setting the HOME environment variable in Windows to your home folder (c:\users\username).
( you can confirm that this is the problem by doing echo $HOME in git bash and echo %HOME% in cmd - latter might not be available )

Open up your git bash and type
echo $HOME This shall be the same folder as you get when you open your command window (cmd) and type
echo %USERPROFILE% And – of course – the .ssh folder shall be present on THAT directory.
