How to specify the private SSH-key to use when executing shell command on Git?
A rather unusual situation perhaps, but I want to specify a private SSH-key to use when executing a shell (git) command from the local computer.
Basically like this:
git clone [email protected]:TheUser/TheProject.git -key "/home/christoffer/ssh_keys/theuser"
Or even better (in Ruby):
with_key("/home/christoffer/ssh_keys/theuser") do
sh("git clone [email protected]:TheUser/TheProject.git")
end
I have seen examples of connecting to a remote server with Net::SSH that uses a specified private key, but this is a local command. Is it possible?
