[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-3567) Git failure on Windows

["Gerald Colwill (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3567?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17253774#comment-17253774 ] 

Gerald Colwill commented on NETBEANS-3567:
------------------------------------------

Hi, been having similar problems but on Linux. I create my ssh keys using OpenSSH which now creates the private key beginning with BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY,  JGit (which Netbeans is using) does not support this. My solution was to create another key (name it something different like id_rsa_pem) with ssh-keygen as before but add the -m PEM option. It then creates the key beginning with BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY which JGit supports. You will need to add the private key for the pem (id_rsa_pem.pub) to GitHub or whatever repo manager you are using. Then use that key (id_rsa_pem) in Netbeans when doing git clone, pull or whatever.

Hope this helps.

> This bug travels from version to version for a decade now.
> If you clone a repository via ssh via external means (in my case, Git Bash on win), Netbeans' git module fails to work with it ("Auth fail" with the correct and working private key provided). 
> Steps to reproduce:
> - open Git Bash, clone a repository via ssh;
> - open this project in Netbeans;
> - try to pull; fail.
> There's an annoying workaround of re-cloning the repository from inside Netbeans I'm aware of. But maybe it's finally time for this ancient bug to go.
