Connecting to local git repository using ssh keys

[jlattus]

This plugin does have some nice features. Although I was wondering if you guys were going to implement authentication using ssh keys. I noticed that you did implement passwords and sshpassphrases but no keys. I keep getting errors reject host key: "servername". In the source it looks as if this has not been implemented. Although I'm not much of a coder and this is simply to see if this is in your road-map or if I'm just way off and there is a way to do this.

I use this integration with a Windows server on the LAN and SSH keys. I set it up like this:

• Create an SSH key for a new user in Git called 'versionone'
• On the Git server, add the user and grant read-only permissions to all repos
• On the server running the integration, add the private key into the directory C:\Users<account the service runs under>.ssh
• In the same .ssh directory, create a known_hosts file with an entry for the git server
• In the integration's config, use repo addresses in the format git@git-server:repo.git

Hope that helps
