I would like to use 1 command - 'git clone...' but with passphrase using SSH. Is it possible ? I want to make a script which clone repository so I have to give my passphrase as a parameter. (I cant use ssh-agent)

You could use a simple batch file

ssh_ask.bat

@echo off
echo [my-passphrase]

Then you have to set two variables (usefull in another batch file)
prepare.bat

set display=0
set "SSH_ASKPASS=C:\\path\\to\\ssh_ask.bat"

Now ssh will ask the batch file for the passphrase

  • to be honest I don't undestand, so this is 1 file with 4 line of code ? or 2 file ? where i should 'git clone' and in which order ? – discCard Dec 08 '20 at 10:00
  • @discCard I edited my post, trying to be more clear – jeb Dec 08 '20 at 13:37
  • ok,thanks, so we have 2 file, but in which of this 2 file i should put line with 'git clone' ? – discCard Dec 08 '20 at 13:42
  • @discCard You don't need to put `git clone` into the batch files. Just start the `prepare.bat` once. After that, yxou can use git clone from the console without asking for the passphrase – jeb Dec 08 '20 at 15:01
  • after run prepare.bat I'm still getting ask for passphrase :( What is SSH_ASKPASS ? this is system variable ? I don't understand why this should works – discCard Dec 08 '20 at 15:27
  • @discCard With the SSH_ASKPASS variable, the ssh program knows that it should start the program in the SSH_ASKPASS variable instead of asking the user (only when the DISPLAY variable is also set). Did you modify the `C:\\path\\to\\ssh_ask.bat` to YOUR real path? – jeb Dec 08 '20 at 18:39
  • yes, I wrote my true path to ssh_ash.bat and i still have to ask passphrase by cmd – discCard Dec 09 '20 at 11:48
  • maybe i should also add somewhere "SSH_ASKPASS" variable in system ? – discCard Dec 09 '20 at 11:49
  • it is windows 10 – discCard Dec 09 '20 at 11:56
  • @discCard If you use `ssh target-host` the ssh_ask.bat should be started, if not (if the `SSH_ASKPASS` is wrong) you should see errors like `CreateProcessW failed error:2 ssh_askpass: posix_spawn: No such file or directory`. You could test that. If you get `Permission denied, please try again.` your user/passphrase is wrong – jeb Dec 09 '20 at 12:15
  • i wrote it in git bash and i got error: "ssh: Could not resolve hostname target-host: Name or service not known" and when i wrote it in cmd i got: " 'ssh is not recognized as an internal command' " – discCard Dec 09 '20 at 12:29
