Subject: GIT over ssh with identity file
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 00:37:18 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21826348.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


Forgive me if this has been answered before. I've searched everywhere but
couldn't find a solution.

Is it somehow possible to pass your private key file to git when working
over ssh. What I have in mind would be something like this:

git -i /path/to/private/key clone ssh://homer@foo.bar.com/var/git/repos.git 

Since I want to use this on a server I would like to avoid using a password
caching agent at all cost.
