Public key issue with command line in sourceTree (git )

Question

I usually use git on linux and I'm not familiar with sourceTree on windows ( c# project ), the interface is usefull to follow the tree, but I would like to the use commande line .

I really don't understand, I generated my ssh key with sourceTree agent and load with "Pageant", I added the public key on my bitbucket account.

And it works. I can clone/pull/push from the sourceTree interface

But using the sourceTree command line mode doesn't work

Answer 1

1. Set SSH Key to a PuTTY private key (.ppk) and set SSH Client to PuTTY / Plink
2. Set an environment variable GIT_SSH to the path of plink.exe, for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\SourceTree\tools\putty\plink.exe

Of course you could have a separate, global OpenSSH key in %HOMEPATH%\.ssh\id_rsa but then you would lose the advantage of SourceTree loading the correct key automatically.

By the way, I can confirm that neither of these work:

• Setting SSH Key to an OpenSSH private key and using OpenSSH as SSH Client
• Setting SSH Key to a PuTTY private key and using PuTTY / Plink as SSH Client
