Setup

  • Which version of Git for Windows are you using? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

    2.2 via Chocolatey.

  • Which version of Windows are you running? Vista, 7, 8, 10? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

Win 7 SP2

Details

  • Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

CMD or Powershell. Often via VS Code integrated terminal.
ssh user@server.com

  • What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

I expect to use the Win32 OpenSSH port instead of the tweaked OpenSSL. Here's the link to the project

  • What actually happened instead?

It didn't use it.

This should work:

git config --global --add core.sshCommand C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe

I found two: #1556 and #1683. Of particular note: #1556 (comment)

This issue is acknowledged, and simply needs a contributor with a little time to work on it (it is really not all that hard).

Thanks for those references, I didn't see those for whatever reason. Don't have time myself to work on those but I can adopt the tweaks mentioned for now.

I'll close this ticket in favor of #1683 (which saw more action from interested volunteers).
