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.
