Hi everyone,
We have a git repository set up with gitosis and it requires RSA keys to authenticate developers who have rights to push to this repository. i.e. they are blessed with write privileges. Github uses a similar method.
We use Eclipse, so we would like Eclipse to integrate with Git. So we grabbed egit from http://www.jgit.org/update-site and used the Eclipse installer (Like we do all the other Eclipse plug-in, given that the egit/jgit sites don't give instructions otherwise it seems to be the thing to do).
The problem is I can't see how to associate an RSA key in order to authenticate the SSH login with our gitosis repository (or GitHub). We have PuTTY installed and use Pageant to manage keys, and the required key is already loaded. We've used the 'import project' wizard, and initialised git in our project workspace, and though egit becomes aware that the project is a git repository, there seem to be no menu items for associating an RSA key with a remote repository.
The wish list states that this is already implemented, but gives _no_ instructions on how it's done. http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/EclipsePluginWishlist#SupportforSSHKeys
I've searched the git mailing archives for egit with RSA, key, SSH, and private key, and though there is a lot of discussion about egit and keys and sessions, there are no instructions on how it's done.
Can anyone help with this?
Regards,
Aaron Hicks
